seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
your love is like the sweet forbidden fruit in life
i’m another woman’s man you’re another man’s wife
we both know the difference between right and wrong
life is full of temptation it’s hard to be strong
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
when I kissed your lips I made a big mistake
your love is like a habit a habit I can’t break
in my heart I lied cuz in my mind I know
with you I want to be with her I still belong
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
all the things you want to be maybe wrong to society
if there’s a choice between silk and satin they both feel good to me
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
your love is like the sweet forbidden fruit in life
i’m another woman’s man you’re another man’s wife
we both know the difference between right and wrong
life is full of temptation it’s hard to be strong
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
when I kissed your lips I made a big mistake
your love is like a habit a habit I can’t break
in my heart I lied cuz in my mind I know
with you I want to be with her I still belong
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
all the things you want to be maybe wrong to society
if there’s a choice between silk and satin they both feel good to me
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good
seems like everything good is bad
and everything bad is good

“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.
