Just one more time he said as he crawls into his own
I'm doing fine he said as the tears fall down alone
Why must you question me
Do you want your future blown
Look at the sight of him
What can he do to show you

Living life for others
Shuffle through the day
Everyone is out to get him
What do they have to say
Pull yourself up out of this rut
Make it all come clean
Cause the day the sun gets in your eyes
Is the day that you'll be free

Open the door
The world is too young
To see what you've felt before
When all the sleeps end restlessly
Without time

Dream yourself to sleep at night
Only lying beneath the clouds
Spend your lifetime in the shade
When the early morning sun wakes up
To reveal the pain you've laid

Open the door
The world is too young
To see what you've felt before
When all the sleeps end restlessly
Without time

    This sounds like its about a fugitive hiding out from the law. At the beginning its like hes talking to someone tryingto help him, and telling them not to put themselves at risk. The part when they say "the day the sun gets in your eyes is the day that you'll be free" is like when he finally comes out of hiding after he spent his "lifetime in the shade."

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.
