This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I sit tight, don't wanna miss the show
I hang on, don't wanna miss my prime
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Stay awhile, my baby wants me to
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
But tide will dry, upon my baby's back
Tide will dry, upon my baby's back
And I get weak, I get weary
I miss sleep, I get moody
I'm in thoughts, I write songs
I'm in love, I walk on
So, fingers crossed, my time is coming now
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
And I get weak, I get weary
I miss sleep, I get moody
I'm in thoughts, I write songs
I'm in love, I walk on
So, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I sit tight, don't wanna miss the show
I hang on, don't wanna miss my prime
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Stay awhile, my baby wants me to
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
But tide will dry, upon my baby's back
Tide will dry, upon my baby's back
And I get weak, I get weary
I miss sleep, I get moody
I'm in thoughts, I write songs
I'm in love, I walk on
So, fingers crossed, my time is coming now
Don't you go, my baby begs me so
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
Time will fly, upon my baby's back
And I get weak, I get weary
I miss sleep, I get moody
I'm in thoughts, I write songs
I'm in love, I walk on
So, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
I feel that this song is about two lovers, however one of them is very ill - maybe even terminally. The way she sings it is very powerful. Shes carries an encredible amount of sadness but it sounds like there is also a mixture of hope (for better days or to live longer) and acceptance (if she is to die) there as well. Her number one concern during this whole ordeal is the person she loves referred to as her 'baby'.
The first two lines of the two verses...
I sit tight, don't want to miss the show I hang on, don't want to miss my prime
Fingers crossed, my time is coming now Don't you go, my baby begs me so
Her partner obviously isnt dealing with it very well however she seems to have a good grip on the situation and understand it as well as how she's feeling...as she describes I get weak I get weary I miss sleep I get moody I'm in thoughts I write songs I'm in love I walk on her thought processes - so many different ones. but in the end its acceptance 'i walk on'
time flies (upon my babies back) means that there just simply isnt enough time to spend with the person who you are in love with. the time will fly by.. but its important to try and capture a moment with them insted of worrying about when your time with them runs out. even if she does die, time will go on and her partner will move on. time is inevitable and so is death... thats what i believe this song is about and i heard it when someone i knew passed away. i listened to it on repeat for days...
well tell me what you think about what this song means to me because im 17 and want to know if im any good at analysing songs. hehe.
I thought pretty much the same thing but a different scenario. Like, I would imagine it as her leaving on tour possibly and moving on ("walking on") from someone who is possibly holding her back even though she loves that person.
