Packing my bags
Time is a drag
Smell myself
To make sure I'm still there

I'm alone in the park
(Say goodbye)
With the Saber Tooth Shark
(I won't cry)
And every pretty girl that broke my heart
(Old friend, see you again)

Receding lines
(I know)
Broken dimes
(Must go)
Who's gonna meet their match this time
(See red, sore head)

The maker's at home
(Alone here)
Smoking a bone
(Alone there)
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
(I'm alone everywhere)

These nightmares
(Say goodbye)
Nightmares
(I won't cry)
With the repeating cast of characters
(Old friend, see you again)

I don't wanna talk
(So afraid)
When my thoughts are true
(Back in the day)
I hate myself when I think like you
(Tag along, same song)

'Cause it's over
(Bazooka Joe)
It's over
(Punk show)
It's ancient, it's so old
(Front row, demo)

It's ancient
(3000 miles)
It's ancient
(New styles)

It's so old, let's call the whole thing
(When in Rome, go home)
Off
(Say goodbye, I won't cry, old friend)

Let's call the whole thing
(See you again)
Off
(Say goodbye, I won't cry, old friend)

See you again, say goodbye
I won't cry, old friend
I'll see you again

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
