This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
We sat on a curb after a party. And I'll never forget how she looked at me so sweet. We traded thoughts we traded secrets. And I never thought I'd ever find the girl that made me so complete. I can remember the taste of our first kiss. I can't remember a time when I felt like this. She don't care that I'm always broke. She always laughs at my dumb jokes. I can remember the time that we first met. I can remember the first words that you said. She must have stolen the stars and set them in her eyes. She blinds me with a smile everything is all right. I haven't felt this good in so long. And I've never felt something ever feel so right. And I've been away for a while. And I can't wait to see her smile. I'm driving home so far from here. I hope I get to see her tonight. I can remember the taste of our first kiss. I can't remember a time when I felt like this. She don't care that I'm always broke. She always laughs at my dumb jokes. I can remember the time that we first met. I can remember the first words that you said. She must have stolen the stars and set them in her eyes. She blinds me with a smile everything is all right.

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.
