Whatever you put in my hands is my life savings, my main man
I got a box fit for a king on Queens Street
(Tell me that's not irony)

Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite
If I had just one chance
I'd buy romance

[Chorus: ]
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?

All alone in the strange city
Every other face is a blank to me
But I'm gone, gone, gone
And I'm lost in a sea of anonymity

Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

I love the way the city turns
I'm yours today, I will be found
I can't stop laughing, I can't stop smiling
All the time

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Is anybody out there, anybody out there? (Repeat)

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.
