This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Back the hell off
Rock 'n' roll Jesus with all my nails on
All I need is a blunt and a bail bond
And give these blind motherfuckers something to feel on
Rollin' like a motherfucker put your wheels on
And lets roll down and heal till the heal gone
I started on the block but that something to build on
And how can I pray when I got nothing to kneel on
Hey
The ground is gone
Don't look now but the ground is gone
I'm so high that the ground is gone
And I don't even know which cloud I'm on
Don't look down but the ground is gone
Don't look down cause the ground is gone
Right now I'm a million miles from home
And I'm so high that the ground is gone
Walk on air,
show me to the edge and I walk off there
We ain't high enuff O'contraire,
and sometimes life just don't compare
Say my name baby pull my hair,
and I'm a fuck you like a bull I swear
I gotta lot of love that I could just share
I gotta lot of drugs that I could just share!
I know I know where should I go,
a nice lil' mirror and a little white girl
Way at the top of the mountain, bouncing.
May I be everything but grounded!
I don't ever wanna see the bottom the bottom
I just wanna float, float like Muhammad.
I don't ever wanna see the bottom the bottom
I just wanna float
Jump-jump out a window
Lets-lets-lets jump off a building baby
Lets jump-jump out a window

Hey

Don't look now but the ground is gone
I'm so high that the ground is gone
And I don't even know which crowd I'm on
Don't look down but the ground is gone
Don't look down cause the ground is gone
Right now I'm a million miles from home
And I'm so high that the ground is gone
I know a girl named Crystal her last name Ball
I look into her eyes and I can see it all
I see it when she cry, I'm there when she call
Cause I live inside of the mirror on the wall
Kill 'em all, die in the spirit of the war
Thinkin' would a mind be in spiritual for
Huh shit, cause ain't no love
die while America drink your blood
It ain't no hurricane it ain't no flood
This some other shit we aint no of
Make that money yeah make that money!
Then watch the goverment take that money
But we gon' raise hell, motherfucker get well
Laws get passed and economies fail
Love, hate, emotion, compulsion, addiction, fiction,virgins
Dixons, means, mixing, swinging, switching, swagging,
Sweets, freaks, faggots, flame, fashion, planes crashing
ground zero

“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.
