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”
Don't you dare pretend to set me free,
It's not too hard to see a lie with eyes like these.
And stop trying to fill me up with vanity.
Don't you dare beg me not to leave,
Cause I can't ever stay in one place, that's not me.
Contrary to belief,
I'm not drowning, I am free.
I'm not drowning, I am free.
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can hear me now,
Now that all my words are lost.
I wouldn't dare try to hide it anymore,
This lifestyle ain't what I'm looking for.
Call me crazy, but at least I have a bit of a fucking clue.
I'll build you up, and then I'll tear you down,
It's not on purpose, just the way I get around.
Call me crazy, but at least I have a bit of a fucking clue.
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can not hear me now,
Now that these words ain't no longer lost.
So here's an idea, why don't you leave me be?
Somewhere far away, just bring me my guitar.
Because a savior's just not what I need,
Just some confidence and I should go pretty far.
Don't you dare pretend to set me free,
It's not too hard to see a lie with eyes like these.
Contrary to belief,
I'm not drowning, I am free.
I'm not drowning, I am free, yeah oh
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can not hear me now,
Now that these words ain't no longer lost.
So here's an idea, why don't you leave me be?
Somewhere far away, just bring me my guitar.
Because a savior just ain't what I need.
Just some confidence, just some confidence, just some confidence,
Where's my confidence?
Where's my confidence?
I'm not drowning, I'm not drowning, oh.
I'm not drowning, I'm not drowning.
It's not too hard to see a lie with eyes like these.
And stop trying to fill me up with vanity.
Don't you dare beg me not to leave,
Cause I can't ever stay in one place, that's not me.
Contrary to belief,
I'm not drowning, I am free.
I'm not drowning, I am free.
How loud do I have to shout this out
So I can get the message across?
Oh, just my luck that you can hear me now,
Now that all my words are lost.
I wouldn't dare try to hide it anymore,

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
