Are you disappointed,
And have we destroyed it?
I, well I've been stumbling down this long and winding road
And these times are changing,
And it's complicated,
I, well I don't want to know

[Chorus]
And I, don't ask why, anymore
And I, don't ask why, anymore
Anymore

Is it getting better,
And can we live forever?
I, and I'm not sure what the hell we're fighting for
Does the money make us,
And will the future blame us?
I, oh, I don't want to know

[Chorus]

When you're tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home
When you can't take anymore,
When you're beat up and ignored,
Come home

The son is headed home
The pastor you don't know
You're a long, long way from home
There are things you need to know,
The answers leave you cold
You're a long, long way from home
The summer's coming back,
And it brings a second chance
If you're not part of this,
Then I don't want to know

[Chorus]

When you're tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home
When you can't take anymore,
And you're beat up and ignored,
Come home
I'm coming home.

Magical

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.
