This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Time goes by,
And we watch our lives,
As they're sadly slipping away.
Alone, we cry.
So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never heard
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be
Prepared to jump,
When the ship has sunk,
And you're slowly watching it drown.
Alone, you cry.
So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never heard
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be prepared.
Maybe we, care about too much
Time we lost in in spite we run,
That night, but you know I'm wrong.
And we watch our lives,
As they're sadly slipping away.
Alone, we cry.
So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never heard
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be
Prepared to jump,
When the ship has sunk,
And you're slowly watching it drown.
Alone, you cry.
So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never heard
When you were young you didn't care.
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign.
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be prepared.
Maybe we, care about too much
Time we lost in in spite we run,
That night, but you know I'm wrong.

“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.
Time goes by, And we watch our lives, As they're sadly slipping away. Alone, we cry. This shows that a person is living their life without paying attention to whats going on and they're loosing grip of it's meaning. They feel alone, because they think their life has no meaning.
So follow that tune quickly Or you'll lose the melody you never heard When you were young you didn't care. It's the one that stole your fathers pride, That mighty mighty dollar sign. These are the things that matter now, So sing along and be... This means that when you're young you can hear and see what the meaning of you're life is, but its ignored, because you're having too much fun being young. Ace is adviceing us to follow our path of life, or we'll become like the ones before us who have no meaning in their lives because they only wanted money.
