Punish me
punish me
Straw is gold
And gold is stone
Your greatness make me small
You're the one who will make me crawl
ja...

The lord does take
The lord does give

Punish me
punish me
You say yes
And I say no
Lock me in all you worship
Before the wind's cold hand grips

Your greatness make me small
You're the one who will make me crawl
You're the one who will make me crawl

You greatness, make me small
You're the one who will make me crawl
Your greatness makes him small
You will be punishing me for it all
The lord does take
The lord does give
Does he give only
To those whom he loves?

Punish me (8x)

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.
