How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Listen...
Close your eyes, and take my hand.
I know you're wondering, but you will soon understand.
See, love needs time to crawl low, and time to run free.
That's why we should get away so we can chill privately.
Through the week you go your own way, and I go mine.
Never truly enjoying each other; never a chance to unwind.
So, give your heart to me and my hands right now.
We'll search for tomorrow under a silver cloud.
Refrain:
At last we're alone.
And I want to fly so high that I kiss the sky all alone.
And I want to fly so high that I kiss the sky all alone.
It's quiet as the morning raindrops on the ground.
We'll bless so gently with the love that's all around.
And I'm so glad to know you the way I do
My special friend...we become much closer the more time we spend together in love.
The one I think of, when I'm farway, you brighten my day.
And now that you're here, my jets stand clear.
Want you always near by my side as we hide away.
Refrain.
Close your eyes; relax your mind.
Let's find the time to enjoy each other's love.
Take my hand; follow me; make it last forever and ever.
Refrain.
Close your eyes, and take my hand.
I know you're wondering, but you will soon understand.
See, love needs time to crawl low, and time to run free.
That's why we should get away so we can chill privately.
Through the week you go your own way, and I go mine.
Never truly enjoying each other; never a chance to unwind.
So, give your heart to me and my hands right now.
We'll search for tomorrow under a silver cloud.

At last we're alone.
And I want to fly so high that I kiss the sky all alone.
And I want to fly so high that I kiss the sky all alone.

We'll bless so gently with the love that's all around.
And I'm so glad to know you the way I do

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.
