The three of us sat in a line
Twenty minutes to spare as the bus changed its driver
You said you wanted to see the stars from the desert
Well now's your chance

We travelled some weeks to get where we were
But who is counting? Who is watching where we are headed?
So let's pool our money, I'll go inside
Try to buy something we can't easily divide again

Easily divide
We can't easily divide
Easily divide
We can't easily divide

I was thinking, I was thinking about my life stretching somewhere
Do you think it ends in light overload?
And I know that I have something rare
Could this be where we part?

The three of us sat in a line
As truckers hauled in and out of their cabs
And crouched down beside us
He said that things happen for reasons unknown to us

And trying not to look too vulnerable
We straightened our backs and looked straight ahead
So let's pool our money, I'll go inside
Try to buy something we can't easily divide again

Easily divide
We can't easily divide
Easily divide
We can't easily divide

I was thinking, I was thinking about my life stretching somewhere
Do you think it ends in light overload?
And I know that I have shared something rare
Could this be where we part?

I was thinking, I was thinking about my life stretching somewhere
Do you think it ends in light overload?
And I know that I have shared something rare
Could this be where we part?

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.
