This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
When I see you
I run out of words, to say (ahh)
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay (ahh)
I see the guys tryin' to holla
Girl, I don't wanna bother you
'Cause you're independent, and you got my attention
Can I be your baby father?
Girl, I just wanna show you
That I love what you are doin' 'cause
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful

Like the clouds you drift me away
Far away, yeah
And like the sun you, brighten my day
You brighten my day, yeah

Kardinal told you (you), whether the sky blue or yellow
This fellow ain't that mellow if it ain't about you (you)
Hourglass shape make the place go "oooh"
Waistline makes my soldier salute
I'm a brute (brute) high from ya high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin' in the fast lane, eyes like an angel
Goddess, watch my girl and how she undress
Spotless, hotness bad to the bone
Make me wanna bone, put me in a triple-X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk, with you, hold my hand
I'ma spend them grands but after you undress
Not like a hooker, but more like a princess
Queen, empress, president
Pull any way, you got my love 'cause you're beautiful, okay?
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl

I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love

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.
First of all, the first line says "the kind of girl that makes me stay" not "that makes mistakes".
They also left out the whole bit where he says "I'll spend them grands, but after ya undress, not like a hooker but more like a princess queen, empress, president, any way it’s going down cause you’re beautiful”
That part is just hilarious to me.
Actually, They took that verse out before it was officially released. The original version was leaked to the internet before it came out.
