“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Sometimes my life is a mess
Sometimes I have my regrets
Sometimes I just can't find my way
And sometimes I just don't have a say
I know that I've seen better days
I know that hearts been broken
I know that I'm goin' be okay
I know that there's still hope and
I'm Holding on for the moment,
I'm holding on
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
Sometimes my life is a bore
sometimes I don't know the score
Sometimes I just finish in last
and sometimes I just don't stand a chance
I know that I've seen better days, I know this
hearts been broken
I know that I'm goin' be okay
I know that there's still hope and
I'm Holding on for the moment,
I'm holding on
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I know I can find a way
Sometimes my life is a mess
Sometimes I have my regrets
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I walked through the open door
but I've been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I walked through the open door
but I've been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
Sometimes I have my regrets
Sometimes I just can't find my way
And sometimes I just don't have a say
I know that I've seen better days
I know that hearts been broken
I know that I'm goin' be okay
I know that there's still hope and
I'm Holding on for the moment,
I'm holding on
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
Sometimes my life is a bore
sometimes I don't know the score
Sometimes I just finish in last
and sometimes I just don't stand a chance
I know that I've seen better days, I know this
hearts been broken
I know that I'm goin' be okay
I know that there's still hope and
I'm Holding on for the moment,
I'm holding on
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I know I can find a way
Sometimes my life is a mess
Sometimes I have my regrets
I'm in the wrong frame of mind,
I'm in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I walked through the open door
but I've been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I gotta get outa here
I walked through the open door
but I've been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
and I gotta find a way to get outa here

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.
