let's go undercover like
young lovers should cause
i can kiss you better then
this letter could and you
say at least under these covers
i listen to you and
all this music about you i
hope it find you smiling
again till never begins or
till forver ends
i'll still be lost
in poetics or lost in the mail
can nobody tell you these
guys have a passion for
fashion but are sincere like
a staue and if you have to
choose i am gonna lose i
always do we always do
nostalgia is drunk and
frustration can be gorgeous
but can i keep my mouth shut
cause sometimes
gorgeous can be frustration
when your life is nothing
but a honorable mention
on a radio maybe i'm a
baby but i think it's time to
grow you're everthing i
live for-ever got shorter you
begged me not to go forever
i'll know on a radio better
i'm a quitter than a starry
tortured soul the lips i
kissed now shape songs of
sadness hold me dear
when i'm away and i'll
know when i hear your
name even if i have to sing
it to myself.

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.
