Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

(Wake up) well, it's nice to meet ya
Do you have a name?
'Cause I would like to teach you, baby
(Alright) if it's unfamiliar
When the sharks are swimming
We will watch them kill ya, baby
(Yeah, you) I'm a little shocked
'Cause I can see the future
Lookin' through your eyes
(Tonight) don't you fall asleep, don't you fall
It's only gonna take a little time

Before we start to lose our minds
We're leavin' all the haters behind
Before the sun decides to hide
I know you think I'm maybe out of line
I'm scared to love what we love most
It's only gonna take a little time
Before we start to lose our minds
Wake up

(Wake up) well, it's nice to know ya
Have you learned to fly?
'Cause I would like to show ya, baby
(Alright) if it's unfamiliar
When I taste your face
Then I can break the mirror, baby
(Yeah, you) I'm afraid to hide
'Cause I can live today before I say goodbye
(Tonight) don't you fall asleep
Don't you fall
It's only gonna take a little time

Before we start to lose our minds
We're leavin' all the haters behind
Before the sun decides to hide
I know you think I'm maybe out of line
I'm scared to love what we love most
It's only gonna take a little time
Before we start to lose our minds
Wake up

Take some time to breathe
Let's take some time to breathe
From the desert to the sea
It's the same for you and me
When you say you'd rather bleed
Is it really what you're thinking
Let's take some time to breathe
Out, yeah
It's only gonna take a little time

Before we start to lose our minds
We're leavin' all the haters behind
Before the sun decides to hide
I know you think I'm maybe out of line
I'm scared to love what we love most
It's only gonna take a little time
Before we start to lose our minds (wake up)
It's only gonna take a little time

Before we start to lose our minds
We're leavin' all the haters behind
Before the sun decides to hide
I know you think I'm maybe out of line
I'm scared to love what we love most
It's only gonna take a little time
Before we start to lose our minds (wake up)
Wake up

    im the guy going through almost exactly what viggogirl22 said, but i have a vibe that its more than just that, sleep tends to represent not just an end, but depression, i think if we combine the info we got out of sail we will find that he happens to believe that it wont just end the relationship, but the whole friendship

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
