Everyone's wearing jackets but me.
Everyone's holding parasols, whistling,
Everyone's wearing jackets but me,
I'm feeling melancholy.
Melancholy.

Everyone's got a bicycle but me.
Cruising down the avenue, like feathers on the sea.
Everyone's got a bicycle but me.
It's so unsettling.
Unsettling.

But what is there to do,
when you know that you've been a fool,
By the rainiest of summer?
Rainiest day of summer.

Just when you decide,
You wanna take a little step outside,
You get plummeted by the downpour,
On the rainiest day of summer.

Everyone's got the message but me.
Rubber boots, and high tops, and skirts below the knee.
Everyone's got the message but me.
So why am I still laughing?
Why am I still laughing?

'Cause it seems I've found the evidence,
That the weatherman lied.
But maybe there's a side of us,
That wants to be denied.

(Rainiest day, rainiest day, rainiest day of summer)

But what is there to do,
when you know that you've been a fool
By the rainiest of summer?
Rainiest day of summer.

Just when you decide,
You wanna take a little step outside,
You get plummeted by the downpour,
On the rainiest day of summer.

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.
