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.
(ooh, ooh, baby blue)
(what's wrong with you?)
Ooh, yeah
Getting back to business, baby
Just believe in me
Forget the things the wise men say
That's our philosophy
(i want you now)
I've got the feeling you want me, too
(show you how)
Oh, oh
Gonna catch a shaft of light
Shine it in your eyes
Gonna see what's on your mind
Before you realise
(i want you now)
I've got the feeling you want me, too
(show you how)
Ooh, hoo
(ooh, baby blue)
(what's wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(ooh, baby blue)
(what can I do?)
Why don't you let me through to you?, oh, yeah, oh
If I follow my desire
Come inside your heart
It would be impossible
To stop what we might start
(i want you now)
I've got the feeling you want me, too
(show you how), so
(ooh, baby blue)
(what's wrong with you?)
You got me worn out trying
(ooh, baby blue)

Why don't you let me through to you?

“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.
