This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
this is the proper place, but i'm growing older without grace
and all of the people sing contented with the urban routine
as the backdrop fell on my clothes in the evening
and the actresses left for the farewell party
and i left the timber line for oil slicks and parking fines
and i found that it's too late to renew the lease at 1138 Ellis.
all the punker kids need to home by seven
'cause there's dinner at eight in the suburbs with sister and father and mother
i wanted to end it there... save myself for once and for all
but it turns out it's not that good... now i'm stuck and summer turns to fall
and this is the proper place and i'm growing older without grace
and all of the people sing contented with the urban routine
and all of the people sing contented with the urban routine
as the backdrop fell on my clothes in the evening
and the actresses left for the farewell party
and i left the timber line for oil slicks and parking fines
and i found that it's too late to renew the lease at 1138 Ellis.
all the punker kids need to home by seven
'cause there's dinner at eight in the suburbs with sister and father and mother
i wanted to end it there... save myself for once and for all
but it turns out it's not that good... now i'm stuck and summer turns to fall
and this is the proper place and i'm growing older without grace
and all of the people sing contented with the urban routine

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think at the end he's talking about Seattle because he says "urban", and Seattle would be the much more urban city.
I love the pacific Northwest :)
