I wanna cry
On a roof
I - the third time
You will lose
He moved me
And the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after her
I said a nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching life's basement
"I'm obvioulsy confused," I said,
"I'm more more worried for you than for me"
I yell
Cry baby cry
Cry fight it
I'm not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker
You're the person that took me
I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
That's how come I wore raincoats
I said first a suicide without a note
And now a note without a suicide
First a look without a note
And now a note without a suicide
She said "maybe death is my answer,
But love is the answer of life"
He moved me and the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after her
I said a nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching life's basement
Cry baby cry cry
I fight it
Im not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker, sicker
I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
I lean on some
She said "first a suicide without a note
And now a note without a suicide."
I said "maybe death is my answer,
But love is the answer of life."

Plastic Bag

“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.

He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
