(Scent of an angel)
Keeps me driving all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)
I keep your picture on my dash just to get me through
(Scent of an angel)
Reminds me of those crazy nights down in Mexico
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, temptation got a way of turning the lights down low
You're cool in your faded blue jeans
Just a fool in a tequila soaked dream
But you ain't no saint
You know I ain't no beauty queen
I was stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from Memphis
A song playing in my head
Send me an angel
Move on up ahead
(Scent of an angel)
Sending a message
'Cause I feel a little cold and blue
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, expensive habit sure took one hold of you
Crawling in on a Sunday
And leaving town on Monday
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting on the other side of the line
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
A vision of you by my side
So let's head on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from here
(Rolling, rolling)
(Somewhere back in town)
I'm stuck in a border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Get around, shake this town
Drive a while, go in style
A hundred miles from here
Here comes the morning
And here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
Keeps me driving all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)
I keep your picture on my dash just to get me through
(Scent of an angel)
Reminds me of those crazy nights down in Mexico
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, temptation got a way of turning the lights down low
You're cool in your faded blue jeans
Just a fool in a tequila soaked dream
But you ain't no saint
You know I ain't no beauty queen
I was stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from Memphis
A song playing in my head
Send me an angel
Move on up ahead
(Scent of an angel)
Sending a message
'Cause I feel a little cold and blue
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, expensive habit sure took one hold of you
Crawling in on a Sunday
And leaving town on Monday
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting on the other side of the line
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
A vision of you by my side
So let's head on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from here
(Rolling, rolling)
(Somewhere back in town)
I'm stuck in a border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks
I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
So let's move on down
Get around, shake this town
Drive a while, go in style
A hundred miles from here
Here comes the morning
And here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
Here comes the morning

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.
