Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Go, you move we go, now don’t go,
You move we don’t, now go,
Now don’t you move, we won’t go, now don’t go, go,
I thought the way that she moved meant the way that she tasted,
I could rip the seams right through her lips,
A captivating experience that left me here,
With antoxicating kiss,
But tonight, I’m setting all my memories aside,
So why don’t we trace the footsteps back into our past with the ones we’ve lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made,
No one should have to take the fall for it, when it’s our life to live,
Go, you move we go, now don’t go,
You move we don’t, now go,
Now don’t you move, we won’t go, now don’t go, go,
Found out the way that he moved,
Found out the way that he tasted,
Then he ripped the seams right from her lips,
Never thinking the first time that they met, would be the last she saw of him,
Is glamour an issue? A balancing reason?
Are we all waiting to destroy,
The things in life we are made of?
A blessing we're tasting,
And come so fond to recreate,
I can feel the expansion, resembling patterns,
Disguising everything, and what we have to relate,
And it's all for this one dance,
So why don’t we trace the footsteps back into our past, with the ones we’ve lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made,
No one should have to take the fall for it, when it’s our life to live
I am watching over you from the stars,
Don’t be scared, I know exactly where you are,
Cause there’s a piece of me and it’s burning in your heart,
Even death could never tear us apart,
You move we don’t, now go,
Now don’t you move, we won’t go, now don’t go, go,
I thought the way that she moved meant the way that she tasted,
I could rip the seams right through her lips,
A captivating experience that left me here,
With antoxicating kiss,
But tonight, I’m setting all my memories aside,
So why don’t we trace the footsteps back into our past with the ones we’ve lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made,
No one should have to take the fall for it, when it’s our life to live,
Go, you move we go, now don’t go,
You move we don’t, now go,
Now don’t you move, we won’t go, now don’t go, go,
Found out the way that he moved,
Found out the way that he tasted,
Then he ripped the seams right from her lips,
Never thinking the first time that they met, would be the last she saw of him,
Is glamour an issue? A balancing reason?
Are we all waiting to destroy,
The things in life we are made of?
A blessing we're tasting,
And come so fond to recreate,
I can feel the expansion, resembling patterns,
Disguising everything, and what we have to relate,
And it's all for this one dance,
So why don’t we trace the footsteps back into our past, with the ones we’ve lost?
Too many bad mistakes were made,
No one should have to take the fall for it, when it’s our life to live
I am watching over you from the stars,
Don’t be scared, I know exactly where you are,
Cause there’s a piece of me and it’s burning in your heart,
Even death could never tear us apart,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
how are there so few comments? this song is excellent. 'Go, you move we go, now don’t go, You move we don’t, now go, Now don’t you move, we won’t go, now don’t go, go' i love how he says that. its pretty much senseless.. but its fun to sing along to. i love the line 'no one should have to take a fall for it, when its our life to live' thats exactly how i feel.
