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”
Oh lady, got something to say
Alright baby, oh yes I do
Oh now lady, mm yeah
Got something to say, something to say
Check it out, well
All up in the mix on a Friday night, Friday night
Me and my guys lookin' oh so tight, oh so tight
Bounced from the crib to the car,
From the car on our way to the bar
Girl I wonder where you are, always loved you from afar
Hold that, wait a minute this hit it up from the back
And girl I really wanna come and get with you tonight, alright alright
Oh girl you look so fine, and I want you to be mine
Well I got nothing to lose, gonna make my move
Getting close to you is all I wanna do oh
I can remember so clearly you all up in your ride but didn't notice me,
So maybe, now's the time to make my move lady
So I asked her if she'd mind could we share a little time
Told me that would be just fine
Couldn't believe I had her by my side
Who'd ever thought she'd end up in my ride
Straight to the top, girl you really make me hot
You're just four times a lady
Spinning around til the morning light
Gonna be making sweet love with her all through the night
Straight to the top, girl you really make me hot
You're just four times a lady
Now she calls me up on the phone nearly every night
Just to make sure im not feeling lonely yeah
She'd even come around telling me how she was feel uptight, yeah baby
So I said that I'll take ya darling, for a minute
She's the type of girl you wanna have around, she's all up in it
She's my everything, takes good care of me
And she's all the things that a girl's supposed to be, yeah
Can't imagine living without you
I love you, yes I do
Never thought my dreams would all come true when I stopped to talk to you
So you're out with your girlfriends, thought she's so damn fine
And I wish she could be mine, but every time I saw her
She'd always pass me by, never could catch her eye
Couldn't believe I had her by my side
Who'd ever thought she'd end up in my ride
Straight to the top, girl you're gonna make me hot
You're just four times a lady
You're four times a lady, yes you are yeah
You're four, you're four times a lady yeah
You're four times a lady, oh baby oh baby
When you said to me inside you felt the same
Alright baby, oh yes I do
Oh now lady, mm yeah
Got something to say, something to say

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.
