You can always trust your inner feelings
'Cause they always tell the truth
Where did it get you, then your analyzing
Just do what feels right for you

If you take life as a crazy gamble
Throw your dice take your chance
You will see it from the different angle
And you too can join the dance

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy oh yeah

Did you ever have a secret yearning
Don't you know it could come true
Now's the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you

As you know there's always good and evil
Make your choice don't be blind
Open up your mind and don't be trivial
There's a whole new world to find

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy oh yeah

Did you ever have a secret yearning
Don't you know it could come true
Now's the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you

If you take life as a crazy gamble
Throw your dice take your chance
You will see if from a different angle
And you too will join the dance

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy oh yeah

    Surprised there are no comments on this song. First one of theirs I heard, on a compilation album. Without that it would have taken years to discover them. Pretty obvious what it's about, as is most of their stuff.

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.
