Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I bet you think
that I'm a freak
because you know just how that smells
I'd like to show
you that I'm just like
everybody else
So my hair's a little long
and my cloths are out of style
but you know that's only me
and I like to get wild
So why don't you
just come along
and take a trip with me
I'll show you all
the things you love
and things you never see
So come on little baby
why don't you take a ride
you should let me come on in
and see the inside
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So now we are in love
with everybody
but ourselves
we fail to realize
that we're just
stepping on the nails
and babe you know it hurts
when you're laughing at me
but it hurts even more when you
laugh without me
But that's just how
we get along
and things are mighty nice
and if you take just
one thing from me
take all my advice
Sometimes you know you make me
weak in the knees
I got the boogie woogie woogie
running into my teeth
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Ha Ha Haha Ha Ha Haha
I Bet you think
that I'm so weird and
live off by myself
but really it's just
that I don't like
anybody else
But you know I love a girl
with suspicion in her eyes
and I love her even more if
she's shaking her thighs
And my you look
so good tonight
but It's really a surprise
Because I never see you
wearing cloths
you give me such a rise
You've been calling on the phone
in the middle of the night
you've been hiding in the bushes
hoping that I'll bite
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
So now you're laying
in a puddle
on my kitchen floor
and I don't think
you'll be calling me
you won't see me anymore
But baby don't you know
that it'd never work out
you've been begging me to stay
but I'm having my doubts
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Cause I'm a little weird
Cause I'm a little weird
Cause I'm a little weird
Cause I'm a little weird
that I'm a freak
because you know just how that smells
I'd like to show
you that I'm just like
everybody else
So my hair's a little long
and my cloths are out of style
but you know that's only me
and I like to get wild
So why don't you
just come along
and take a trip with me
I'll show you all
the things you love
and things you never see
So come on little baby
why don't you take a ride
you should let me come on in
and see the inside
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So now we are in love
with everybody
but ourselves
we fail to realize
that we're just

Cause I'm a little weird
Cause I'm a little weird
Cause I'm a little weird

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.
