This is the second one today
I'll send this one tomorrow
I'm homesick, yet again
I hope I can come home soon
It's winter now, saw the first snowflake yesterday
Caught it on my tounge

Hey Mom, Does my room still smell the same?
Do the neighbourhood kids still play in the rain
Tell Dad, I'll be home to watch the game
I miss my room, I'll be home soon

I made friends with
My friends, friends, friend, girlfriends friend
She's not bad, she tells me how her boyfriend gets mad
She stayed with us last night
We heard a gentle knock on the door
So we put our mattresses to the floor
Wish I could help, but it's not use

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Well I should go now,
Class starts in ten,
I'll write again soon, I hope,
Don't worry about me though,
I'm catching the bus home after class,
see you soon, until then, bye.

(Chorus)

Until then I'll keep writing these letters home.

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.
