This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Put on my lipstick, I know its gonna get big tips,
Steppin into costume so I can give my patrons kicks
Step outside for a cigarette and its starting to snow,
Every time it gets cold I begin to think of you
Hold on a minute, they're calling me
Suga, suga, suga, come here
Dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here, you're all I got to keep me warm
Admittedly its cliche but I'm still writing you letters
My room here is cozy and sparse and decorated with posters of Big Sur
Ive never been there, but I want you to take me,
Though I think paradise is a place you visit and not a place you live
That's why everything is better in manhattan,
Oh people aren't hungry, they are starving in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to search for
In Manhattan
Oh in my spare time I'm making a garden on my fire escape
I cant wait to watch my seedlings find the sun
It wont be easy, cause nothing ever is
Thats why everything tastes so good
So my love I got all my ropes and chains
I'm gonna give 'em to you for your birthday..
You can do even what you want, but I hope you're gonna tie me up
You can do even what you want but I hope you're gonna tie me up and sing
Oh suga, suga, suga, come here, dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here
You're all I got to keep me warm
Suga, suga, come here, oh I can almost taste you
I'm gonna put you out on the street and watch you grow
In the concrete
Oh my love, this time you go to far
How many times must I repeat myself
I love you, there, I said it
and I meant it,
Oh I love you, there I said it and I meant every word
I love you, there I said it, now will you take it
Or will you put it out on the street and watch it grow
in the concrete
Everything is better in Manhattan
Oh the spoons aren't silver, they're gold in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to reach for
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, In manhattan
Steppin into costume so I can give my patrons kicks
Step outside for a cigarette and its starting to snow,
Every time it gets cold I begin to think of you
Hold on a minute, they're calling me
Suga, suga, suga, come here
Dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here, you're all I got to keep me warm
Admittedly its cliche but I'm still writing you letters
My room here is cozy and sparse and decorated with posters of Big Sur
Ive never been there, but I want you to take me,
Though I think paradise is a place you visit and not a place you live
That's why everything is better in manhattan,
Oh people aren't hungry, they are starving in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to search for
In Manhattan
Oh in my spare time I'm making a garden on my fire escape
I cant wait to watch my seedlings find the sun
It wont be easy, cause nothing ever is
Thats why everything tastes so good
So my love I got all my ropes and chains
I'm gonna give 'em to you for your birthday..
You can do even what you want, but I hope you're gonna tie me up
You can do even what you want but I hope you're gonna tie me up and sing
Oh suga, suga, suga, come here, dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here
You're all I got to keep me warm
Suga, suga, come here, oh I can almost taste you
I'm gonna put you out on the street and watch you grow
In the concrete
Oh my love, this time you go to far
How many times must I repeat myself
I love you, there, I said it
and I meant it,
Oh I love you, there I said it and I meant every word
I love you, there I said it, now will you take it
Or will you put it out on the street and watch it grow
in the concrete
Everything is better in Manhattan
Oh the spoons aren't silver, they're gold in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to reach for
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, In manhattan

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”

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.
Such a good song. It's a really sweet song about love and how things are better when you have to work for them. And Manhattan is a place where life is not easy, so when things are good there, its better because you worked for them.
