In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Miss me baby
When you hear our favorite song
Miss me baby
And when you start to sing along
Think about all the times that danced in light to it all night long
Oh, then miss me baby
You want me honey
Like you did the night you told me that you loved me
You couldn't wait anymore
Left the keys in the door, took my hand, pulled my down on the kitchen floor
Yeah we were that crazy
Miss me baby
[Chorus]
Cause when he's holding you
Know that it's killing me
Let my memory be the reason, girl, that you can't sleep
And every time you feel his touch
I pray to God it's not enough
That I've touched your heart so deep, girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Miss me baby
Miss me baby
Til you can't take it no more
Miss me baby
Pack your bags and hit the door
I'm a man, I was wrong, forgive me, come back home, I'll be waiting
Right here waiting
Miss me baby
[Chorus]
And every time you feel his touch
I pray to God it's not enough
That I touched your heart so deep, girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Miss me baby
Every time you hear this song
Miss me baby
When you hear our favorite song
Miss me baby
And when you start to sing along
Think about all the times that danced in light to it all night long
Oh, then miss me baby
You want me honey
Like you did the night you told me that you loved me
You couldn't wait anymore
Left the keys in the door, took my hand, pulled my down on the kitchen floor
Yeah we were that crazy
Miss me baby
[Chorus]
Cause when he's holding you
Know that it's killing me
Let my memory be the reason, girl, that you can't sleep
And every time you feel his touch
I pray to God it's not enough
That I've touched your heart so deep, girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Miss me baby
Miss me baby
Til you can't take it no more
Miss me baby
Pack your bags and hit the door
I'm a man, I was wrong, forgive me, come back home, I'll be waiting
Right here waiting
Miss me baby
[Chorus]
And every time you feel his touch
I pray to God it's not enough
That I touched your heart so deep, girl, you can't shake me
Cause I love you
Yes I need you
Miss me baby
Every time you hear this song
Miss me baby

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”

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.
Although I'm not much of a country fan, I do like this song. It has a quiet, plaintive rhythm that conveys the longing he's feeling. Obviously he's messed up, but he realizes it and wants her to come back. He feels all the desperation that you experience when you want to make someone miss and want you as badly as you desire them. The line "And everytime you feel his touch I pray to God it's not enough" adequately expresses the depth of feeling that you have when your loved one is with someone else. It's beautiful.
