They drag me underground
The lights are slowly fading
The world I thought I knew
I never knew at all

The dead don't make a sound
Unless you're chasing rainbows
And then they scream your name
Clawing at the gates

So pull me out
And hold me down
Let's find a way
To lose ourselves

Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and I'm alone
Waiting for a chance to

Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your room in
Paradise!

Are we just dreaming
In the city that never sleeps?
'Cause I can't be seeing
What my eyes tell me

Am I just dreaming?
This can't be in my veins
Everything I ever knew
Will never be the same

So chew me up, and spit me out
Let's find a way to save ourselves

So pull me out
And hold me down
Let's find a way
To lose ourselves

Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and I'm alone
Waiting for a chance to

Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your room in
Paradise!

And now I feel it.
Yeah I feel it in my blood!

I can't fight this anymore
I've given up!
I've given up!

Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and I'm alone
Waiting for a chance to

Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your room in

PARADISE!

Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and I'm alone
Waiting for a chance to

Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your room in
Paradise!

Yeah!

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.
