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.
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
Read my finger, whatcha gonna do?
See these lips are all done talkin' to you
I don't mean to bruise your ego
But I've had you nailed down for so long
I don't see your name on my tattoo
Hope you understand, it's been a long time coming
It's for the best, no offense
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
I know who you think you are
Sorry I've turned you on but I'm kissin' you off
Your lines are whiskey and cigarettes
They're not enough to make me forget
I've got someone who has raised the bar
I've heard it all before, stop spinnin' your wheels
Show you the door, no hard feelings
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
You've probably never been shot down before
You've probably never been shot down before
I'll try and make it easier
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (Oh yeah)
And it's not you
It's not you
It's not you, yeah
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
Read my finger, whatcha gonna do?
See these lips are all done talkin' to you
I don't mean to bruise your ego
But I've had you nailed down for so long
I don't see your name on my tattoo
Hope you understand, it's been a long time coming
It's for the best, no offense
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
I know who you think you are
Sorry I've turned you on but I'm kissin' you off
Your lines are whiskey and cigarettes
They're not enough to make me forget
I've got someone who has raised the bar
I've heard it all before, stop spinnin' your wheels
Show you the door, no hard feelings
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
You've probably never been shot down before
You've probably never been shot down before
I'll try and make it easier
I'm in love with somebody
Found someone who completes me
I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah (Oh yeah)
And it's not you
It's not you
It's not you, yeah

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.

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.
