INTRO:

Twenty-four hours a day, girl, that's not the way I planned it
It would be you and it would be me, girl
Twenty-four hours a day, yeah, twenty-four hours a day

My lover and my friend, my beginning and my end, oh
I had a dream; what came in between us?

Twenty-four hours away, girl, without you I am stranded
All that I knew was me lovin' you, girl
Twenty-four hours a day, yeah, twenty-four hours a day

BREAK:

And I know I loved you and you loved me, too
But the temptation for more than me, for movin' on was there
You were like the sunshine, but sunshine comes and goes
How was I to know that I would stay and you'd be the one to go?

My lover and my friend, my beginning and my end, oh
I had a dream, what came in between us?

CHORUS

REPEAT AND FADE

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.
