This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A pen and a piece of mind is all that I need to find
to document this mess of miscommunication
I'll seal it in a letter and hope you can find the time
to count inconsistencies and read things you fail to see
I really shouldn't spend so much time explaining
I'm smart enough to know you're not done complaining
[Chorus]
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll hang it up to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll tear it down
to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try
So I ask myself "Self, are there more sides to this story?"
The corners of this triangle are skewed and confused
on one hand
one date, one chance, the time becomes too boring
what she made seem like more
I'm not impressed and not amused
so simple goodbye would've sufficed
but now you've said enough
instead you got involved and lashed at me
Can't you see that we're done, we're through
I'm well enough and I'm quite over you
so end the calls
goodbye, I'll see you on the other side
[Chorus]
I'll show myself some other time
[Chorus x2]
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll hang it up to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try
to document this mess of miscommunication
I'll seal it in a letter and hope you can find the time
to count inconsistencies and read things you fail to see
I really shouldn't spend so much time explaining
I'm smart enough to know you're not done complaining
[Chorus]
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll hang it up to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll tear it down
to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try
So I ask myself "Self, are there more sides to this story?"
The corners of this triangle are skewed and confused
on one hand
one date, one chance, the time becomes too boring
what she made seem like more
I'm not impressed and not amused
so simple goodbye would've sufficed
but now you've said enough
instead you got involved and lashed at me
Can't you see that we're done, we're through
I'm well enough and I'm quite over you
so end the calls
goodbye, I'll see you on the other side
[Chorus]
I'll show myself some other time
[Chorus x2]
I'll paint just one portrait of us
and I'll hang it up to remind me of sunrise goodbyes
so we know something we should never try

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”
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
I can't believe no one commented on this song. i like it. its about breaking up. :)
I'll show myself some other time
i like this because it makes it seem he knew her so well... [[I really shouldn't spend so much time explaining I'm smart enough to know you're not done complaining]]
But she never really knew him... reminds me of myself....
