It's been another long day
A slow motion emotion wave
Crashing over this sardine can train

And I'm at the back
Squashed in tight
But it's OK 'cause inside
I know when I get home tonight

It's torment, into ecstasy
It's torment, into ecstasy

I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me

Into the sheets she and I slide
Heavy little smiles open wide
Heads thrown back sweet silent cry
Folds of sheets, clean and white
Rough and ripple like wings in flight
Like waves at night
Like the tail of a kite

It's torment, into ecstasy
It's torment, into ecstasy

I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me

It's torment, into ecstasy

I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me
I want that hot breath of life in me

    "Heavy little smiles open wide"

    I think it's "Heavy-lidded eyes, mouths open wide".

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.
