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”
When I say I'm dead inside it's not a flex it's very vexing
Matter fact been longing for a genuine connection
Been restrained by this pain I wear my noose as a necklace
I've been tryna sever ties but until then I fantasize
Of a life with no entanglement, maybe I'm too reckless
With these souls that I've been tethered to
Take them for a drive I try to keep my hands at ten and two
Steer between the lines I got no clue bout where we heading to
That shit drive me crazy it's just not enough
I can't do commitment too monotonous
Monogamy is not for me
Shun me if you want
Your prerogative don't bother me
I know they gon flock when I escape this life of poverty
Money can't buy happiness I'm sure it loses novelty
But I'd rather be unhappy in a mansion
So if I shed a tear I use a dollar bill for napkin
Can't appreciate your gifts when all you see is what you lacking
They gon' only want your presence when it's absent
I won't say none
We gon' cross that bridge when the day come
These days I don't really wanna wake up
Lately I been running outa patience
I gotta go
Pick up the pace
Only way they gon' relate
I been alone
All on my own
Nobody fucking with lates
They be like bro
Pick up the phone
Man I been calling for days
Don't wanna talk
Nothing to say
You know I'm stuck in my ways
I know they watch then pretend not to see me
They'll try to hop on the boat when it's leaving
They'll talk about how they always been down
I'm gon' deny 'em believe me believe me
Shout out to niggas who been by my side
I know we don't talk gotta pardon my pride
I gotta do this alone
As soon as I'm on
I'll put us all in the sky
Lately been working on me
I got some pain that I needa heal
A couple of stains that I needa clean
I know I been cold
I'm bringing the heat yuh
I'm tryna manifest alla my happiness
I got a list of the shit that I need
I just been tired I been on the grind
Been losing my mind
I needa sleep
I needa drop shit
Been holding on for way too long
And that shit been making me toxic
I'm ready to grow I'm letting it go
Already know that I'm popping
Learn how to fly to live in the sky
I don't see no other option
I'm going and no one can stop me
I do what I want shit
I just wanna make my momma proud
Sick of walking
Need me you can find me in the clouds
On my fly shit
Feels like I been beefing with the ground
Swear to god doe
Homie I ain't ever coming down
But if I ever hurt you then I'm sending my apologies
I know it seems like I don't feel but I just tend to bottle these
Emotions up inside of me
Been dealing with anxiety
Can't have everything can't have everything want a lot
Mamma want a car poppa want a yacht
Oh my god I might fuck around and put it on the dock
On the dock
Momma waking up to whip in parking lot
Parking lot
Fuck the haters doe I know they talk a lot
From the top
If you fucking with the family you get popped you get shot
We gon' cross that, when the day come
I don't really wanna, yeah
Matter fact been longing for a genuine connection
Been restrained by this pain I wear my noose as a necklace
I've been tryna sever ties but until then I fantasize
Of a life with no entanglement, maybe I'm too reckless
With these souls that I've been tethered to
Take them for a drive I try to keep my hands at ten and two
Steer between the lines I got no clue bout where we heading to
That shit drive me crazy it's just not enough
I can't do commitment too monotonous
Monogamy is not for me
Shun me if you want

“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.
