I saw you walking past me just the other day,
another heartbeat with thoughts of yesterday
You looked the same, years are only time,
I still wonder why our hearts could never rhyme.
You stood beside me, you didn't recognize me.,
funny how things never change.
And when you walked on by a memory surprised me,
smoking cigarettes, your girlfriends by the pool.
Your smell I could not forget,
that's as close as i could get
you were so fucking cool.
[I'm no good,
you're no better,
wouldn't we work together?]x2
All I wanted was a piece of your heart,
you left me torn apart.
Fuck the rest before me and their crimes,
for your love I'll serve their time
[I'm no good,
you're no better
wouldn't we work together?] x4
[I'm no good,
you're no better]x3 Slow 3rd time

    This song's about everyone's high school crush. The girl you didn't get. Mine was this girl named Erin. Sat beside her in Gr. 9 science. Its about the one crush that never goes away, because so its innocent and reminds you of a time when things were simpler. The song is also about how the guy realizes the girl is a lot like him, but she tries to be different and hang with different crowds. He just wants he to accept who she is and be with him. "I'm no good, you're not better, wouldn't be perfect togerther?"

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.
