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”
Was it me?
Was it you?
Was it all the little things that I didn't do?
Try to move on, but I can't
No I can't imagine being someone else's man
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
its not over
Not for me
Used to have so much faith and I still believe
You're my weakness
You're my strength
And one without the other
Just don't make no sense
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
its not as easy for me
As it is for you
Let me talk about it
Its not that easy
Listen
What am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
Oh what am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
what am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
What am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
Was it you?
Was it all the little things that I didn't do?
Try to move on, but I can't
No I can't imagine being someone else's man
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
its not over
Not for me
Used to have so much faith and I still believe
You're my weakness
You're my strength
And one without the other
Just don't make no sense
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
its not as easy for me
As it is for you
Let me talk about it
Its not that easy
Listen
What am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
Oh what am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
girl I tried, I tried a million times
To get you off my mind
Its not that easy no
Not that easy
Don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy
what am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
What am I meant to do without your love, your love
What am I meant to do without your love
don't you know how hard it is for me
To smile and say goodbye
It's not that easy no
It's not that easy

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page

Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
Oh I love this song sooo much! Reminds me of a very happy time in my life =] Lemar's voice is perfect for this!
