In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Yo baby, let's set the mood right
Don't ever leave, I don't wanna lose you
After so long and being with you (say)
I can't explain how much I need you (sayin)
You're always there, support all my needs
And anything I want, you give it to me (sayin)
(Oooh )
That's what you call love, L-O-V-E?
And my emotions on fire
I'm trying desperately to enter your heart
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
Gotta make sure that you stay
If I have to be the key
Can't imagine my life without the one that I need
Please don't leave me now, can you promise me?
See baby it's on, if you believe, yeah
We can make it somehow, just you and me (say)
Our time is here, let's not give it away (no)
Don't put off tomorrow, let's do this today
(Wanna do it, yeah)
With a friend you call love, L-O-V-E
My emotion's on fire
I'm trying desperately to enter your heart baby, whoa
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
Gotta make sure that you stay
If I have to be the key
Can't imagine my life without the one that I need
Please don't leave me now, can you promise me?
Baby, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
When I'm home alone, on my darkest night
You're my shining starrrr, ooh
Don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
Gotta make sure that you stay
If I have to be the key
Can't imagine my life without the one that I need
Please don't leave me now, can you promise me?
Don't ever leave, I don't wanna lose you
After so long and being with you (say)
I can't explain how much I need you (sayin)
You're always there, support all my needs
And anything I want, you give it to me (sayin)
(Oooh )
That's what you call love, L-O-V-E?
And my emotions on fire
I'm trying desperately to enter your heart
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
Gotta make sure that you stay

Can't imagine my life without the one that I need
Please don't leave me now, can you promise me?

Can't imagine my life without the one that I need
Please don't leave me now, can you promise me?
Baby, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna lose your love
It means so much to me
When I'm home alone, on my darkest night
You're my shining starrrr, ooh
Don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose your love

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
