How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Not just that I want it all
I told you but I get out now
I need it more than you know
Soon you'll find out
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't stop there 'cause I'm not done
If you can't give me everything
Than move aside for someone else
You're wasting my time here
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't you know who I think I am?
Better give me all good things
That I will command
You can keep giving me
Keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Three words telling shit to me
There's only one that matters
You like what you see
You can keep giving me
Keep giving me more more
I still won't be yours
Need more than you know
I want it all
I want it all
Not just that
Not enough to satisfy
My hunger is insatiable
I've never heard the word "no" before
With our brother laughter
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
And tough luck if you can't keep up
With me the lights are turning green
Everywhere I go like a dream
Too good but it's true, say
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't you know who I think I am?
Better give me all good things
That I will command
You can keep giving me
You keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Three words telling shit to me
There's only one that matters
You like what you see
You can keep giving me
You keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Need more than you know
I want it all
I want it all
Not just that
I told you but I get out now
I need it more than you know
Soon you'll find out
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't stop there 'cause I'm not done
If you can't give me everything
Than move aside for someone else
You're wasting my time here
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't you know who I think I am?
Better give me all good things
That I will command
You can keep giving me
Keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Three words telling shit to me
There's only one that matters
You like what you see
You can keep giving me
Keep giving me more more
I still won't be yours
Need more than you know
I want it all
I want it all
Not just that
Not enough to satisfy
My hunger is insatiable
I've never heard the word "no" before
With our brother laughter
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
And tough luck if you can't keep up
With me the lights are turning green
Everywhere I go like a dream
Too good but it's true, say
I'm obssessive with excessive pleasure
Don't you know who I think I am?
Better give me all good things
That I will command
You can keep giving me
You keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Three words telling shit to me
There's only one that matters
You like what you see
You can keep giving me
You keep giving me more more more
I still won't be yours
Need more than you know
I want it all
I want it all
Not just that

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.
