Stayed awake all night, toss and turnin'
Now my bloodshot eyes are burnin'
Workin' out why this ain't workin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now it's killin' me.

You were too busy to believe in
All the runaway dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go, I'm leavin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now I gotta be.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Cynical and so sedated.
Can't live in this world you created
Day after day after day
And now I gotta be.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

Yeah, you'll always be the lonely one
Yeah, you'll always try to swallow the sun
Just remember you can never make it rain on anyone

On my own and livin' in a world alone
Gets better every 'cause I don't have to say
And now you're killin me.

On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home

(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
