This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
A funny thing that happened once
It never stopped and now it's dumb
I hung my head up on the walls
Now I'm in love the problem's solved
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
I'm only here for five more days
Another thing I meant to say
Another day has come and gone
I feel the same, I can't be wrong
The longest word I've ever said
Will never be inside your head
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
I'm only here for five more years
And when I'm gone you'll disappear
Another day has come and gone
I feel the same, I can't be wrong
The longest word I've ever said
Will never be inside your head
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
No, no, no, it's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
It never stopped and now it's dumb
I hung my head up on the walls
Now I'm in love the problem's solved
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
I'm only here for five more days
Another thing I meant to say
Another day has come and gone
I feel the same, I can't be wrong
The longest word I've ever said
Will never be inside your head
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
I'm only here for five more years
And when I'm gone you'll disappear
Another day has come and gone
I feel the same, I can't be wrong
The longest word I've ever said
Will never be inside your head
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
It's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
It can't be done
You can't argue with the radio god
No, no, no, it's never done
You can't argue with the radio god
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again
We can't ever be alone, no we can't
Talking to yourself in your sleep when
We'll never be alone again

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
OH. I thought it was 'we can't argue with the radio on' because they can't hear themselves the sound of the radio or they'd rather listen to the radio instead of argue or whatever. i liked it better that way. lol
This song is wayyy too addicting<3
