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.
She wanna break it down
She want some reggaeton
Mamacita, oh my God I think you're on fire
Do you want me to get you water?
You make me want to be your baby father
Cause the dance you do is getting hotter
I better come for you before the boys follow
What you think?
I think you wanna..
I think you wanna..
She wanna break it down
She want some reggaeton
I been long overdue, something overdone
You been on the tuss, well I can make you overcome
I know he tellin you what he can make you and
I know he tellin you where he can take you and
By the way ma, hey is that your hair?
If it ain't, it took two days in the hairshop chair
I'm just jokin..
I make ya smile right?
Come in, I mean excuse me, baby
You dance so fast, ma, this ain't merente
But your butt is certain yo palente
Sh, I'm just bein honest cause it's just nice
You're lookin different, sayin to yourself
"Is he alright?"
Sure you're cute, but you know you won't dismiss this plight?
When my chain keep blinkin like Christmas lights
Get it right...
Mamacita, oh my God I think you're on fire
Do you want me to get you water?
You make me want to be your baby father
Cause the dance you do is getting hotter
I better come for you before the boys follow
What you think?
I think you wanna..
I think you wanna..
She wanna break it down
She want some reggaeton

Hey girl!
Let's go finish at mi casa
Trust me, it'd be proper
I got muchos negros on my lache with the choppers
If they suspect us, someone trespasa
All you hear is BRRRAT and then scream, Kukaracha!
Trust me, P is no pimp
See I got heavy pockets, so I walk with a limp
One night with he, and I'll make ya scream
You'll wake up, like it's a dream
Call downstairs, tell em to make us PJs
Right after that, dry cycle our PJS
Right after that, book us a PJ
What you mean how? When you got money, it's easy
This ain't dookie, ma, I'm not Green Day
Wake up, you're about to miss your damn dream day
Now everybody just sing what the screen say
It goes..
Mamacita, oh my God I think you're on fire
Do you want me to get you water?
You make me want to be your baby father
Cause the dance you do is getting hotter
I better come for you before the boys follow
What you think?
I think you wanna..
I think you wanna..
She wanna break it down
She want some reggaeton

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
