ambulance cracking the night. i open up my window. the city streets solemn in the dark. and i can hear the sirens. somebody met the last big sleep. another family tragedy. a tiny note that no one saw in the paper. i went up north. remember it well. could not believe the things they said. i understood when i got there. then it got to me. i can still see the tracks in the snow. you're forever attached to this mold. nothing much changes under the sun. everywhere i can still see your face. your name's written all over this place. nothing much changes under the sun. snow falls hard all over the bay. i see no trace of summer. but was it you that night by the pier. i thought i saw a shadow. where have you gone. where have you gone now. to haunt the empty boulevards. to watch the trains arrive and leave the station. cause there were things we all like to say. we thought there'd be another day. a twisted fate came in you way and it got you. there's a place that i know in the east that still keeps me from grinding my teeth. nothing much changes under the sun

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.
