This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was dancing with your shadow
Slow down memories hall
I said wait have I been seduced and forgotten
You said baby haven't we all
Now I don't like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new God
And love me like Sunday again
I was hiding in your bedroom
When I saw him come inside
I can't live in his shadow
Is that where I'm dancing until I die
Now I don't like candles
Because they make me see the light
That I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new God
And love me like Sunday again
There ain't no use in trying to stop me
Slow down memories hall
I said wait have I been seduced and forgotten
You said baby haven't we all
Now I don't like crying
Because it only gets me wet
But I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new God
And love me like Sunday again
I was hiding in your bedroom
When I saw him come inside
I can't live in his shadow
Is that where I'm dancing until I die
Now I don't like candles
Because they make me see the light
That I can't help failing
To remember to forget you
And I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'm crying like a church on Monday
Praying for these feelings to go away
So do me a favor baby
Put down your new God
And love me like Sunday again
There ain't no use in trying to stop me

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”

Plastic Bag
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.
I love the use of the metaphors! i've actually known people who are like, "i don't get it....what does crying like a church on monday mean???" -think about it- what could could possibly be more EMPTY -literally- than a church on monday? he knows that crying "only gets him wet" b/c he feels that his tears are being ignored by his lover. i think when he says he "doesn't light candles, b/c make him "see the light" means that reality hits him, and he would rather live in hopes that his lover will come back to him......-the song is incredible, and i'd probably be a complete sucker for it!
i really love this song.i like its meaning. it makes me think of TeakJu.. where is he?? i don't know.crying a lot for long but i know now that someone just walk in and then walk out.only his footprint that still remind me. thanks toni. you make my life feel better now.i don't know what to say just say i love you,toni.
i like "i don't like crying because it only gets me wet" that's right
oh man i used to be OBSESSED with the New Radicals (well mostly gregg alexander. i would've had his baby!)!!! And whenever i heard this song i would just like, cry! I wanted to comfort Gregg or whatever, lol! I was pretty depressed phor a while b/c of it, actually . But i'm cool now.
This is one of my favorite songs...so sad, but so descriptive. I love the symbolism and especially the line "dancing with your shadow, slow, down memorie's hall!" So great.
This song makes me cry even after hearing it for the millionth time.
The saddest breakup song of all time. Love this band. I must thank my x for turning me on to it. It did not help me get over him, however!
Wow, I can't believe whoever submitted the lyrics got the title wrong.
haha, yeah, especially since the whole point is that it's a church on MONDAY, not Sunday when it's all full of people.
i can't help failing to remember to forget you, this song is just so honest and it's about that dual thinking you have, that's contradictory; you pray for those feelings you have for this person to go away, but at the same time you just want this person to be back... i absolutely love this song ♥
"I can't live in his shadow Is that where I'm dancing til I die"
this is my favorite part...am I always going to be in the background still wanting you. This song is powerful.
Great song.. Listen to this while drinking beer..
