The complicated ways of love
Become all you're thinking of
Sometimes leaving's not the way
No matter what you say

And lies are compromises
You see it in each other's eyes
And, and suddenly you realize
You can't take it one more day

You know I'd cross oceans to find you
And you know I can't live without you
And love is all that matters anyway
Forever and a day

The complicated ways of life
Can cut you like a knife
Sometimes anger's not the way
And you regret the things you say

And lies are compromises
You see it in each other's eyes
And and suddenly you realize
You can't take it one more day

'Cause you know I'd cross oceans to find you
And you know I can't live without you
And love is all that matters anyway
Forever and a day, a day, forever and a day

'Cause you know I'd cross oceans to find you
And you know I can't live without you
And love is all that matters anyway
Forever and ever

'Cause you know I'd cross oceans to find you
And you know I can't live without you
And love is all that matters anyway
Forever and a day

'Cause you know I'd cross oceans to find you
And you know I can't live without you
And love is all that matters anyway
Forever and a day

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.
