Haha
Everybody said
You'd better stay in school
Get a real job boy
Don't be a fool
Burn that guitar
You can never be a star
I can, I can, I can so
A thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground
I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down
I believe it 'cause I feel it and I shout it out loud
I can, I can, I can so
Everybody said boy don't go any higher
(Uh uh, fuck that)
I can do anything
Never push the limit and don't play with fire
(Uh uh, fuck that)
I can do anything
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist take you by surprise fire
(Uh uh, fuck that)
I can do anything
Hahahaha, Ok,ok,ok
Be a movie star
or rock the main stage
An XBox tester
or an astronaut in space
If they tell you that you can't
you can shove it in their face
I can I can I can so
A hundred thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground
I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down
I believe it 'cause I feel it and I shout it out loud
I can I can I can so
Everybody said boy don't go any higher
(Uh uh, fuck that)
I can do anything
Never push the limit and don't play with fire

Never try, never win

You miss a hundred percent of the
shots you never take

“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.
