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”
I thank the Lord that I’ve got you
Girl, you know you’ve always been the strength of me
Got my back when I’m down
Keep my head off the ground
Never messed around, didn't never change
Kept my love when I was going through some things
Now the years have gone by and I’m sure
‘Coz you're still right here, now I know
I was made for love
You were made for me
We were made for us
You’re the only one I need
‘Coz I was made to love you
You were made for me
We were made for us
I’m the only one you need ‘coz I need you
Can I take time out to express myself?
I don’t wanna be with no one else, no
Does it matter what you cannot do?
‘Coz if I got it, girl, you know you got it too
You can rest assure, you got my support
If you really hurting, lean on me, I’ll lift you up
It’s whatchu done for me, is how I feel
I would give my life and then [Incomprehensible]
I was made for love
You were made for me
We were made for us
You’re the only one I need
‘Coz I was made to love you
You were made for me
We were made for us
I’m the only one you need ‘coz I need you
Listen baby, temptations come, temptations go
You’re the one I wanna know
Baby, you’re my thick and thin
You’re my now, baby, you’re my then
You can rest assure ‘bout us
‘Coz in that I trust
That we’ll be together
Always so in love
When I’m away from you
You’re still right there with me
Always in my heart
Girl, you’re one with me
Play with your love
I’m only playing myself
We were meant for each other
Girl, there’s no one else
I was made for love
You were made for me
We were made for us
You’re the only one I need
‘Coz I was made to love you
You were made for me

Never messed around, didn't never change
Kept my love when I was going through some things
Now the years have gone by and I’m sure
‘Coz you're still right here, now I know

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.
