This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Baby I can't imagine why you keep sayin'
You think I'm playin' with your heart
I'm tired of them games I done put that away
Look me in my face you can see that I've changed
But you still act so selfishly keep blamin' it on me
When you know you're just afraid to fall
You can't run and hide
We're almost to the other side
You need to stop makin' excuses
For all the wrong you do you need to stand up
Take responsibility come on and walk with me
Across this bridge called love
Love love boy this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Love love boy this is love
Don't fall off this bridge
Baby I'm so amazed at how you think
It's gonna happen so easily
You gotta work for it maybe hurt for it
But I swear that it's worth all the cryin' all the tryin'
Listen to me
You won't loose this thing we got
It's just gonna take me some time
You need to stop makin' excuses
For all the wrong you do you need to stand up
Take responsibility come on and walk with me
Across this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Just hold on to what we've got
Lady don't be afraid of me
Don't be afraid of love
We can overcome this fear
We can rock this song right here
You need to stop makin' excuses
For all the wrong you do you need to stand up
Take responsibility come on and walk with me
Across this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Across this bridge called love
So let's stop excuses get to the issues
Across this bridge called love
Across this bridge called love
You think I'm playin' with your heart
I'm tired of them games I done put that away
Look me in my face you can see that I've changed
But you still act so selfishly keep blamin' it on me
When you know you're just afraid to fall
You can't run and hide
We're almost to the other side
You need to stop makin' excuses
For all the wrong you do you need to stand up
Take responsibility come on and walk with me
Across this bridge called love
Love love boy this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Love love boy this is love
Don't fall off this bridge
Baby I'm so amazed at how you think
It's gonna happen so easily
You gotta work for it maybe hurt for it
But I swear that it's worth all the cryin' all the tryin'
Listen to me
You won't loose this thing we got
It's just gonna take me some time
You need to stop makin' excuses
For all the wrong you do you need to stand up
Take responsibility come on and walk with me
Across this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Love love girl this is love
Don't fall off this bridge called love
Just hold on to what we've got

Don't fall off this bridge called love
Across this bridge called love
So let's stop excuses get to the issues
Across this bridge called love
Across this bridge called love

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.
