Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love than if you were alone
Memories turn into daydreams, become a taboo

I don't want to be afraid
The deeper that I go
It takes my breath away
Soft hearts, electric souls
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes
Is this taboo?

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now, shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies become your legacy
Promise me a place in your house of memories

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

I think of you from time to time
More than I thought I would
You were just too kind and I was too young to know
That's all that really matters
I was a fool

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now, shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies become your legacy
Promise me a place in your house of memories

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

Those thoughts of past lovers, they'll always haunt me
I wish I could believe you'd never wrong me
Then will you remember me in the same way as I remember you?

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now, shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies become your legacy
Promise me a place

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now, shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies become your legacy
Promise me a place in your house of memories

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

In your house of memories
Whoa, whoa
Promise me a place (whoa, whoa)

    My Opinion

    This song means a lot to me as I believe it refers to a boy who had a crush on a girl and she ended up dating him but eventually broke his heart and now he cant move on. Anyway my boyfriend sent me this song and begged me NEVER to let this happen to him and that he wanted to stay with me 4ever. Weve known each other since 5th grade and now were in 10th weve been dating about a year. Although we both admitted we liked each other since 6th.

    My Interpretation

    It's very melancholic to me. About slowly growing distant with someone you spent way too much time with, thinking you were made to be because of all the memories you created together. Now that you're not so close anymore you still come back to all the memories you share because it's all that's left of them and it kills you to know that you may be the only one who got this attached and you want the other person to forever cherish all of your moments too. You want to be remembered, alive in their memories forever. Also it seems like a big fear of being forgotten, especially by the one you could never forget

    This song is about a cuck. Real men don't get cucked and they don't beg to be remembered. Don't @ me, cucks.

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.
