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.
I can't wait for this to end
And leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
And sleeping the night in silence
And this laptop falls along with me
Onto my bed while rolling over
Break my heart and break my fall
Don't kiss him and color all
Memories you had of me
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Seated close as I waited by the phone
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
I can wait until my heart mends
So I can finally go outside
And I tell myself, look Ken
It's better to lost love
Then paint a smile and pretend
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Seated close as I waited by the phone
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Was in a crumpled photograph that missed the bed
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
And leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
And sleeping the night in silence
And this laptop falls along with me
Onto my bed while rolling over
Break my heart and break my fall
Don't kiss him and color all
Memories you had of me
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Seated close as I waited by the phone
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
I can wait until my heart mends
So I can finally go outside
And I tell myself, look Ken
It's better to lost love
Then paint a smile and pretend
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Seated close as I waited by the phone
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
The last time I saw you
You were standing by his side
The last time you saw me
Was in a crumpled photograph that missed the bed
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
Who loves you more?
To let you go

“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.
