This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Como echarte flores
Si eres un jardín
Con esos olores
Me siento morir
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Como darte besos
Mi flor de alhelí
Con esos colores
Yo yo yo palidecí
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Como trasplantarte
A mi corazón
Como no cortarte
Desde la raíz
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Mira que tú tienes el candor
A flor de pie
Y además siempre estás
Fresca como una lechuga
Soy el picaflor
Que chupará toda tu miel
Soy el picaflor
Que chupará toda tu miel
Soy el picaflor
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Si eres un jardín
Con esos olores
Me siento morir
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Como darte besos
Mi flor de alhelí
Con esos colores
Yo yo yo palidecí
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Como trasplantarte
A mi corazón
Como no cortarte
Desde la raíz

Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Mira que tú tienes el candor

Soy el picaflor
Que chupará toda tu miel
Soy el picaflor
Que chupará toda tu miel
Soy el picaflor

Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste por despertar mi pasión
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón
Te pondré en una matera
Florecita rockera
Tú te lo buscaste
Encendiste mi hoguera no tienes perdón

“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.
