This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We used to tear it down
But now we just exist.
The things that I did wrong,
I bet you got a list.
Now I know how you remember
And those moments that you choose
Will define me as a traitor
Stealing everything you lose.
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
Stay up late tonight
And turn off your phone.
Well you were selfish too
But you were never all alone.
In those ugly pink apartments with the hustlers and the kids
Mapping out some retribution
Do we have to go through this?
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
All of the stars are wandering round tonight
We used to try them on (sometimes I hear you)
And sometimes I hear you
The galaxy sings your song
And tonight I sing along
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said
But now we just exist.
The things that I did wrong,
I bet you got a list.
Now I know how you remember
And those moments that you choose
Will define me as a traitor
Stealing everything you lose.
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
Stay up late tonight
And turn off your phone.
Well you were selfish too
But you were never all alone.
In those ugly pink apartments with the hustlers and the kids
Mapping out some retribution
Do we have to go through this?
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
All of the stars are wandering round tonight
We used to try them on (sometimes I hear you)
And sometimes I hear you
The galaxy sings your song
And tonight I sing along
Forget about what I said
The lights are gone and the party's over.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said, I'm older now and I know you hear me.
Forget about what I said
Forget about what I said

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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

“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.

He is telling his friend to grow up.
