This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Oh, girl I've known you very well
I've seen you growing every day
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away
Suddenly you're in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you
Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die.
Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time.
Ooh
More than a woman,
More than a woman to me
More than a woman,
(Ooh ooh my baby)
More than a woman to me
Aah
There are stories old and true
Of people so in love like you and me
And I can see myself
Let history repeat itself
Reflecting how I feel for you
Thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
I'd fall in love with you again
This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose you love I know I would die
Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time
More than a woman,
(Woman)
More than a woman to me
More than a woman,
(Oh my baby)
More than a woman to me
Ah (Yeah)
More than a woman,
(Ooh ooh ooh)
More than a woman to me
(Oh so much more)
More than a woman,
(Oh baby)
More than a woman to me
(More than a woman to me)
More than a woman,
(Eh)
More than a woman to me
(Ooh yeah yeah yeah)
More than a woman,
(Ah baby)
More than a woman to me
(Yeah yeah)
More than a woman
I've seen you growing every day
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away

My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die.
Oh say you'll always be my baby

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.
