My good big deeds I'd say are more like plans than concrete
By day we'll colonize and by night we'll bring peace
Keep all your hopes to compile a crooner's woes
Work out how to, how to complete these
You should peel those eyes 'cause it's important
That they see my hopeful smile

And then you stop our fear
Something I like about this year
Square nine is here

So calm, stay calm, right there behind your ribs and grab my hand
Stages are just stages for us to pass
You should peel those ears 'cause it's important
That they hear my hopeful words

And stop our fear
It's something I like about this year
Square nine is here, is here

It'll be like square one where we fell in love
Forget about square two, there was no 'me and you'
Just like square one where we fell in love under the tree
Forget about square three, oh that wasn't me
Like square one where we fell in love
Forget about square five, I was only half-alive

    To me this song seems like it's about getting a fresh start with someone. Maybe getting back together with an ex? Or maybe just simply becoming friends with an ex again?

    That last verse is amazing by the way.

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.
