Time, time is what we need? Well,
There's no way this is true
From what we can't keep hiding
I see it, feel it too
Nothing seems to make us shake
But we can spend a lifetime
And make the same mistakes so

Get it back, get it back, get it back now
Right now and leave it all far behind
Get it back, get it back, losing track now
Lights out, it's the only way we're gonna survive
The thrill is gone we need a change
Don't hide, don't sugarcoat the pain

Our words are not quite the same
And you don't whisper anymore
The normal days, no longer
No longer feed our souls
If while I change, you stayed the same
Well babe we had it coming but
We keep fighting through

Get it back, get it back, get it back now
Right now and leave it all far behind
Get it back, get it back, losing track now
Lights out, it's the only way we're gonna survive
The thrill is gone we need a change
Don't hide, don't sugarcoat the pain

Hop on a train while no one looks
Let's let it take us far into
The only one way to reveal
The only place that seems to keep your heart pumpin'
And it's running overflowed
If this whole thing wasn't real, you'd never know

Get it back, get it back, get it back now
Right now and leave it all far behind
Get it back, get it back, losing track now
Lights out, it's the only way we're gonna survive
The thrill is gone we need a change
We've come so far, it's such a shame
Let's take it back and cheat again
Don't hide, don't sugarcoat the pain

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.
