I walk a tight rope
And live with the high hope
That somehow we still feel the same
Through this catastrophe
It's quietly telling me "welcome"
There's that word again

For I don't care if the world's upside down
If you're lost or you're found
I know my feet will stay far from the ground
If you'd just stick around

I know the shots you call gentle
'Cause I could fall and break
You'll hear what they say
I read between the lines
Cuts like a hate crime
And tell me today's not the day

For I don't care if the world's upside down
If you're lost or you're found
I know my feet will stay far from the ground
If you'd just stick around

You hit a high note
It comes like a cyclone
And tell me today's not the day

I don't care if the world's upside down
If you're lost or I'm found
I know my feet will stay far from the ground
If you'd just stick around
With me

Plastic Bag
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.
