What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
It makes me want to kiss
What a beautiful kiss this is
What a beautiful kiss of life
Just before I die
I've been spending time
I've been losing time

Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground and knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is
What a wonderful world this is
What a delicate tale of bliss
That I don't want to miss
In this moment where we all exist
On the precipice of the abyss
It always was, how it is
Spending time, wasting time
I've been spending time, I've been wasting time

Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time can help you find the ground and knock you off your feet
All those minutes get lost in time
One step forward two steps behind
So before I think myself too deep
What a wonderful world this is

No time
Am I losing my mind
No time
Am I losing my mind
There's no time for us, no time for us until we're out of time (we're
Running out of time)
There's no time for us, no time
What a wonderful world this is
There's no time for us, no time (we're running out of time)
(Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep
Time was all we had
But it was never ours to keep

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.
