Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As world falls open wide
Like a wounded solider falls

Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time
My lost awakening

I've found the same as life before
When after another lonely wounded solider falls
Like light fantastic
That falls upon my shoulder

Fall
Don't fall upon my shoulder

She gave me a call
So I gave her a smile
When I asked her for love
And what I should dial
She said 'Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero'

Please excuse me
I meant no harm in being born
As world falls open wide
Like a wounded solider falls
Breaks backs in silence
Don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

I gave her a car
So she gave me a smile
When I asked her for love
And what I should drive
She said 'Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero'

    I really loved this band growing up, especially this album, it was the second CD I'd ever owned, the first being There is Nothing Left to Lose by Foo Fighters, but to sum my thoughts, amazing song. Although I'm sure my interpretation is wrong as I see a lot on this site (would it hurt anyone to look up the actual meaning as interpreted by the artists?), I'd assume that it's about a guy who feels like a loser after being toyed with ("Please excuse me for being born" implies sarcasm and irritation) by a woman who wouldn't give him a 'real number to her love' ("I asked for her love, What should I dieal? She said 'Zero, zero....zero'"). But that's just ol' DANGER's assumption. What do any of you think?

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.
