You say you've seen too many things,
That turn out to be too good to be true.
Against your better judgment, opened up your heart,
'Til you found the joke was on you.
Looking out on the rest of our lives,
If we're gonna be together or apart.
About the only way I know how to come,
Is right straight from my heart.

I want you now,
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around,
But now I've found
That you're the only one for me.

Say you'll never fall again
You won't subject yourself to such pain
If you give me half a chance I will
Never leave you standing out in the rain
But if you think that I could look you in your face and lie right
Through my teeth
Then turn around and walk away
Cross my heart, girl I care for you and when I look into your eyes I
Must say

I need you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
But now I've found
That you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
'Cause you're the only one for me

I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
But now I've found
That you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
'Cause you're the only one for me

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
