This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Takin' my time, usin' my line
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop, don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Places I've known, think that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in the worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' to doubt you
Seems to me
We talk all night, here comes the morning
Seems to me
You just ignore what was said and greet the day
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
I've got to cool myself down, stompin' around
Thinking some words I can't name ya
Meet you halfway, I got nothin' to say
Still I don't 'spose I can blame ya
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Walk away
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop, don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Places I've known, think that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in the worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' to doubt you
Seems to me
We talk all night, here comes the morning
Seems to me
You just ignore what was said and greet the day
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
I've got to cool myself down, stompin' around
Thinking some words I can't name ya
Meet you halfway, I got nothin' to say
Still I don't 'spose I can blame ya
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Walk away

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
