I got a little bit of reason
For everything I've done
I might just serenade the moonlight

And I get so lonely in this crowd
I want to scream but make no sound
And yeah I'm lost but maybe I'll be fine

Cause when I'm in over my head
I hear the words you said
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do

And I couldn't bear to see you walk out
And leave it all behind
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight

And I love the sound of rain on tin
Your screen door beckoning me in
And yeah, I'm mad but overcome with joy

Could it be so damn naive
To hope you could agree?
That someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do

In a world that's cellophane
You get so lost I know you do
In a world that's cellophane

Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
Tell me you feel just like I do
I do

Someone out there's
Listening to the same song
Feeling the same way that I do
Make me a believer pick up the receiver
And tell me you feel just like I do
I do

    AWESOME SONG....after the second "cellophane", at 2:32, the bass line is awesome...I always turn up the bass for this song and turn it loud right at that point. I found it to be all about a girl telling a guy, there's someone out there that is perfect for you, but it's not me. But everytime she talks to him or invites him over, he thinks maybe she'll realize that she is the one that is perfect for him, but she never does. And so now he is mad that she doesn't think she is the one for him, yet he still gets "overcome with joy" whenever she so much as says hi. He reads more into it then she is intending.

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.
