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”
All you need is time
All you need is time, time,
Time to make me bend
Give it a try, don't be rude
Put it to the test and
I'll give it right back to you
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
Kick it around, take it to town
Try to defy what you feel inside
You better be strong
Your love belongs to us
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
All I need is trust
All I need is trust, trust,
Trust to make it show
I don't want to know everything you done
If you get a tip then tell it to the eskimos
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
All we need is faith
All we need is faith, faith,
Faith to make it nice
Kick it around, don't be rude
If you're gonna make a mistake
Don't you make it twice
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
All you need is time, time,
Time to make me bend
Give it a try, don't be rude
Put it to the test and
I'll give it right back to you
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
Kick it around, take it to town
Try to defy what you feel inside
You better be strong
Your love belongs to us
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
All I need is trust
All I need is trust, trust,
Trust to make it show
I don't want to know everything you done
If you get a tip then tell it to the eskimos
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
All we need is faith
All we need is faith, faith,
Faith to make it nice
Kick it around, don't be rude
If you're gonna make a mistake
Don't you make it twice
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day
It's cold on the shoulder
And you know that we get
A little older every day

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.
