You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
I hear a second voice behind your tongue somehow
Luckily I can read your mind, flies and cobwebs unwind
They will not take you down, they will not cast you out, out

Dear friend, here we are again
Pretending to understand how you think your world is ending
Sending signals and red flags in waves
It's hard to tell the difference between blood and water these days
I'll pray that one day you see
The only difference between life and dying
Is one is trying, that's all we're called to do
So try to love me and I'll try to save you

Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Your redemption won't grow stale
We are now just setting sail
On the seas of what we fear
Treason now is growing near to me

I'm coming clean
God, hit me straight on
God, hit me straight on, on, on

Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely

Don't be gone, don't be gone
Don't be gone, don't be gone
Don't be gone

You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out

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.
