Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
Want to go without a care
Pull Gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world
Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
[Chorus:]
How do you talk without speaking?
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling?
How do you take without giving?
How do you keep it all inside?
There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this fucked up feeling
Somethings wrong, you ain't coming round her no more
Try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
This miscommunication is breaking me down
[Chorus]
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
My heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time
[Chorus]
There are footprints on my ceiling
And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life.
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
Want to go without a care
Pull Gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn't have a care in the world
Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty
She had all the grace and charm of a radiant queen
[Chorus:]
How do you talk without speaking?
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling?
How do you take without giving?
How do you keep it all inside?
There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this fucked up feeling
Somethings wrong, you ain't coming round her no more
Try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
This miscommunication is breaking me down
[Chorus]
Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath a sometimes painful past
My heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips like I did the very first time
[Chorus]
There are footprints on my ceiling
And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life.

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.
he's with this girl and 'wanna go on without a care'... he never really opens himself up with her about his inner demons, past that still haunts him...
..he wants to act like nothings wrong, the verse reflects that he's going through the motions of talking, listening, living... but obviously it isn't truthful, because he's not open about his own self.. therefore it's like he's just taking the full self she's giving him, but he's not giving it in return.. so the first chorus ends with 'how do you keep it all inside'?
..the end of the second chorus verse states 'how do you treat your best friend'.. prpbably implying his unwillingness to open up to her, and return what she gives.. is a cruel way to treat what you consider your best friend.. her
My heart is heavy, slowly sinking I redirect my desperate thinking
this has caused problems as he states 'you ain't comin' round here no more'. but keeping true to the theme as the verse i pasted above states.. he redirects his worriness and doesn't open up to her about his fears or the way he feels..
..so instead he 'kiss her red full lips, Like I did the very first time' ..keeping true to the theme of the song.. keeping it all inside and acting like nothing is wrong.
