This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'd rather leave it all on the stage
Than stay here for another day
I'd rather regret the jumps I've made
Feet are planted in the grave
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Ra-ra-ra-rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
I'd rather leave a used up body
Than a body that was never used
Plain and a little bit sloppy
I've always been scarred and bruised
I'd rather be making memories (rather, rather, rather)
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Ra-ra-ra-rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see (rather, rather, rather)
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Than stay here for another day
I'd rather regret the jumps I've made
Feet are planted in the grave
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Ra-ra-ra-rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
I'd rather leave a used up body
Than a body that was never used
Plain and a little bit sloppy
I've always been scarred and bruised
I'd rather be making memories (rather, rather, rather)
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Ra-ra-ra-rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass, on the grass
Ra-rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see (rather, rather, rather)
I'd rather be making memories
Than reminiscing of the past, you see
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it
Rather be standing on the grass
Rather be standing on the grass than lying under it

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.
