I've walked the road of misery, I've scaled a wall of pain
My heart as empty as the sky, I long for home again
Five years elapsed since you have passed, will I be whole again?
The roses rotten on your grave, and still I feel the pain

And I am down
Down
Down

Now all the things I should have asked lie silent in the ground
Your precious memories are dust there's nothing to be found
I wish that I could talk to you, I wish we'd had more time
The roses rotten on your grave, and still I feel it

Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am

Down
Down
Down

Now all the things I should have asked lie silent in the ground
Your precious memories are dust, there’s nothing to be found
God damn the memories, God damn the past
God damn the prison of life, you're better off not here

Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am
Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Tougher than the questions
Are the spaces in between
Do you know how much I miss you
How I wish that you were here, but
You are gone, and I am down

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.
