This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no

This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no

This air is too thick to breath, so just drive
These eyes are too sick too see, don't leave me behind
Something's swimming in my blood, somethings rotting in my brain
I'm smothered from the flood, I can't recognize you face
I need to leave, so just drive

Burning lights on the street, fight, fighting the gravity
(Fight, fighting the gravity, fight, fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
(They'll take you away from me, they'll take you away from me)
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last time
(Yes, this is the last time, yes, this is the last time)
I'm always fighting the gravity

Tonight is too much for me to get through
Tomorrow's just a darkened hall to an empty room
When I'm far away from you

Burning lights on the street, fight, fighting the gravity
(Fight, fighting the gravity, fight, fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me
(They'll take you away from me, they'll take you away from me)
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last time
(Yes, this is the last time, yes, this is the last time)
I'm always fighting the gravity

I'm always fighting the gravity
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no

This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no
This makes no sense, this makes no sense
This makes no sense, this make no

    Official explanation from Mark on a Reddit Q&A:

    "fighting the gravity is about a night a long time ago where someone put something in my drink. i had no idea what was happening and thought i was dying. the whole world felt malicious and angry. i could barely move from the immensity of the earth's pull. i got into my girlfriend's car and said, "please, just drive."

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.
