This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
about the time you ran me down
i was already gone
scarlet red, complete undone
pages ripped and torn away
burned out like fireflies
noble knows no way out
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
dare we go on our way
stared uip to higher ground when the water came
i punched a hole into my chest
let all the water fill the restless parts
heart of mine
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
we draw lines up to the sky
as these walls collide
we're assembling
for one last fight
rode the water's rising tide
saw your hand reachign out to mine
through the blue, we reached the sky
bottom to top, bottom to top, survive
survive
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
we draw lines up to the sky
as these walls collide
we're assembling
for one last fight
we're dreaming
we're drifting into the sea
i was already gone
scarlet red, complete undone
pages ripped and torn away
burned out like fireflies
noble knows no way out
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
dare we go on our way
stared uip to higher ground when the water came
i punched a hole into my chest
let all the water fill the restless parts
heart of mine
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
we draw lines up to the sky
as these walls collide
we're assembling
for one last fight
rode the water's rising tide
saw your hand reachign out to mine
through the blue, we reached the sky
bottom to top, bottom to top, survive
survive
i was the first to know
that you can't outrun
a flood
we draw lines up to the sky
as these walls collide
we're assembling
for one last fight
we're dreaming
we're drifting into the sea

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.
