Nobody knows all the trouble that I've seen
Nobody knows but me
I've been in, I've been out
Someones hope and someones doubt
I've been everything in between

I know now that you think we've got nothing left for you
Well, who am I to say that you're wrong
I could work, I could try
But I'll never change your mind
You're leaving and we're moving on
Yeah, you're leaving and we're moving on

Well life gets and and life gets tough
But sometimes you gotta find
A little bit of truth amongst all the lies
and know everything will be alright
I know everything will be alright

We opened up the doors
Took you too Old #4
But now you feel just like a ghost
Runnin round in the streets
Playing queen of the scene
Well raise your glass high for the toast

If you're ever out on the west coast again
I hope you can pay your own way
Cause we'll be out on the road
Writing songs and playing shows
I hope you think about us everyday
Cause we'll think about it everyday

Well life gets and and life gets tough
But sometimes you gotta find
A little bit of truth amongst all the lies
and know everything will be alright
I know everything will be alright

Well life gets and and life gets tough
Sometimes you gotta find
A little bit of truth amongst all the lies
and know everything will be alright
I know everything will be alright
I know everything will be alright

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
