Loneliness can lock you up
Like prison walls around your heart
You waste away, you fall apart
The seconds tick away and the world is turning
So take me in your arms while the need is burning, baby

Time, time waits for no one
Especially me, baby, don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no one
So what about it do you want to run away with me?

Your tender words release my soul
You move so strong, you've got to know
Your eyes reveal that maybe we should try
The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move 'cause you can't deny it, baby

Time, time waits for no one
Especially me, baby don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no one
So what about it, do you want to run away, run away, run away?

You can run from me, but you can't run from yourself
You'd only lose what you really want to love
(It's a sad, sad story), it's always the same
If you don't take chances, there's nothing to gain
Run away, run away

The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move can't deny it

Time, time waits for no one, oh, oh
Especially me, baby don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no one
So what about it, do you want to run away, run away, run away?

Take me in your arms
(Time time) waits for no one, ooh
So what about it do you want to run away, run away, run away?
Time

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.
