This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Standing at your doorway
My stomach all tangled 'n tight
Have it your way
Oh God, where are you tonight?
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing, here
Where to begin
Just take a deep breath
Oh darling, don't let me in
A thousand times we've said
"I'm sorry, it's over again"
I can't live like this
Feel like this in my own skin
It all seems so degrading
In the morning such sin
Your face just like a child
Oh darling, don't let me in
And we laugh just like children
In waiting, in sheets on your bed
While we secretly pray
Like we're mourning the dead
And you tell me you're so weary
I know
'Cause I'm weary too
You hold back a tear
But darling, what are we to do?
And the wine, and that rain
And that feel of your skin
Again I'm
Swimming, or flying, or dying
This face, this fear
Please stay with me, oh stay with me my dear
This hand
This glow
This only thing I love
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing love
My stomach all tangled 'n tight
Have it your way
Oh God, where are you tonight?
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing, here
Where to begin
Just take a deep breath
Oh darling, don't let me in
A thousand times we've said
"I'm sorry, it's over again"
I can't live like this
Feel like this in my own skin
It all seems so degrading
In the morning such sin
Your face just like a child
Oh darling, don't let me in
And we laugh just like children
In waiting, in sheets on your bed
While we secretly pray
Like we're mourning the dead
And you tell me you're so weary
I know
'Cause I'm weary too
You hold back a tear
But darling, what are we to do?
And the wine, and that rain
And that feel of your skin
Again I'm
Swimming, or flying, or dying
This face, this fear
Please stay with me, oh stay with me my dear
This hand
This glow
This only thing I love
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing love

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
i know that the interpretations are all about what the lyrics and melody and just general atmosphere of a song means to you, the feeling it gives you that you can't always even articulate, or explain to other people in a way that they will get it. so with that said, this is what i picture this song meaning: I picture a guy and a girl that were together and have one of those relationships that had so much history and that they made an indelible mark on eachother's lives, so that everywhere they go, they see things that remind them of eachother and the time they spent together and so when he hears that song or drives by that spot or so on, it makes him miss her and miss the past and miss those memories. and so, like every other time this happens, he shows up at her door, and is asking can he come in so they can talk about them, because he misses her so much and can't rememeber why they broke up etc etc etc and so, like countless times before, she lets him in and they end up getting caught up in the memories and the moment, and he spends the night, like every other time before. and them being together reminds them of their past and they love it, but secretly they're both praying "like they're mourning the dead" --whether they know that they're praying that it won't go the same way again, or whether its one of those times when you can't stop yourself from desperately praying but you're not really exactly sure why.... then they wake up the next morning and they suddenly remember how this scenario always goes: after the nostalgia has worn away they realize that thats all it was--just nostalgia. they tried to be together and now they remember clearly why it didn't work out. and it leaves them feeling even worse than before. so i think the part where he's saying "darling don't let me in" its like him in his sane mind--when he's NOT pleading with her in her doorway to let him in cause he misses her so much or when he DOESN'T see something that makes him miss their past and the idea of "eachother"--its when he can see clearly that starting the whole vicious cycle is a bad idea and will just always cycle the same way and end in more pain for them both. its kinda like him saying "when i show up at your door, like we both know i will, no matter how much i plead and beg and seem like i want to be let in....don't let me in. because thats not what i want. i may think that what i want, at that time, but when it all wears off and i can think clearly again, i'll be glad we didn't put eachother through that again. so, darling, don't let me in."
