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.
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize your tearing me apart
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always loved you cause your "oh so special" ("oh so special")
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you,I am done with you)
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with you
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
There's no salvation in the comfort of you (comfort of you)
And I finally realize your tearing me apart
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
You've made my life completely miserable
You drove me to the edge, you've caused me all this pain
But I always loved you cause your "oh so special" ("oh so special")
I'm broken and I'm alone and I cannot maintain
So help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you)
I am done with you (done with you,I am done with you)
I count the days that we have spent apart
I've got a bad liver and a broken heart
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is near
Help me, save me,
Tell me that the end is here
I am done with you
Because you and me are through
You couldn't help me, you couldn't save me
Now I know the end is here
I am done with 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.
The Song is one of the best on the album. He can't stand that they split and has been on the bottle screwing himself up since, but he knows its a good thing that they broke up so he's done with her. Kick ass song and really deserving of a greatest hits album.
