All your favorite movies
They ain't that funny
If you ain't that high
And I ain't that high

All your favorite books
They wouldn't seem so well written
If you were just a little bit more well read
Hey, Jack Kerouac is dead
And he drank himself to death
And I just, I just ain't that high

And all your favorite songs, they wouldn't seem all that sad
If you weren't so depressed
Elliott Smith seems like a mess to me
And you cry way too easily

The things that make you high'll make you die
The things that make you high'll make you die

I went to your party and your party got so clever
I put a milkcrate on my head and I surrendered in the corner
Some borderline whore asked me how I'm liking California
I just cried
You know, I saw you making eyes at some quote, unquote, gorgeous guy
Look a little closer because he's covered in flies
You know you're hot
But you're fried
You're cool
But you're iced out
You know exactly what I'm talking about

The things that make you high will make you die
The things that make you high will make you die

The crack has got you slipping through the cushions of your couch
Dilaudid's got your head like a howling haunted house
She said it's my party and I'll die if I want to
It's my party and I'll die if I want to
It's my party and I'll die if I want to
I'll die if I want to
It's my party and I'll die if I want to
I'll die if I want to
And it's my party and I'll die if I want to
Die if I want to, die if I want to

You would too if it happened to you

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
