[Verse 1:]
I here the rain drops
Fall on my rag top
And come down the windshield of my car
Parked on the same lane
We came a get away
And trade our kisses after dark
[Bridge:]
You were everything I want bad
Everything I'm gonna need bad
When you said that you were leaving
You got my heart in a vault
You were the only one with a key
And I could'nt get free
[Chorus:]
Still locked in love
So locked in love
And I'm alone my baby's gone
I'm locked in love
So locked in love
And I gotta get free
[Verse 2:]
I feel the clouds start to form
In my mind but
Rain starts to pure then lust my eyes
Maybe there's one who's heart is worth
Wanting you than the one you left behind
By throwing my quarters out
Into the water I wish that you'd meet me here
Like you use to
A heart in a mind we share
How could you take your half
And oh no but it would never be the same
[Bridge:]
You were everything I want bad
Everything I'm gonna need bad
When you said that you were leaving
You got my heart in a vault
You were the only one with a key
And I gotta get free
[Chorus:]
Still locked in love
So locked in love
And I'm alone my baby's gone
I'm locked in love
And I gotta get free Ohhhh
[Verse 4:]
My baby's gone
The vault is closed
My heart is closed
And still I'm alone
Sometimes I here my heart beating beating
[Chorus x2]
My hearts bleeding so freely
Won't you set me free
My hearts bleeding so freely
Won't you set me free
I here the rain drops
Fall on my rag top
And come down the windshield of my car
Parked on the same lane
We came a get away
And trade our kisses after dark
[Bridge:]
You were everything I want bad
Everything I'm gonna need bad
When you said that you were leaving
You got my heart in a vault
You were the only one with a key
And I could'nt get free
[Chorus:]
Still locked in love
So locked in love
And I'm alone my baby's gone
I'm locked in love
So locked in love
And I gotta get free
[Verse 2:]
I feel the clouds start to form
In my mind but
Rain starts to pure then lust my eyes
Maybe there's one who's heart is worth
Wanting you than the one you left behind
By throwing my quarters out
Into the water I wish that you'd meet me here
Like you use to
A heart in a mind we share
How could you take your half
And oh no but it would never be the same
[Bridge:]
You were everything I want bad
Everything I'm gonna need bad
When you said that you were leaving
You got my heart in a vault
You were the only one with a key
And I gotta get free
[Chorus:]
Still locked in love
So locked in love
And I'm alone my baby's gone
I'm locked in love
And I gotta get free Ohhhh
[Verse 4:]
My baby's gone
The vault is closed
My heart is closed
And still I'm alone
Sometimes I here my heart beating beating
[Chorus x2]
My hearts bleeding so freely
Won't you set me free
My hearts bleeding so freely
Won't you set me free

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
