Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Dirty Shirley grenadine, I taste you my mind
You walk that way so I can see it
A supersonic superfreak, a dollar worth of dimes
You know that I want ya all over me
Your place or mine, don't you be shy, girl
Let's get your feet up on the ceiling
Your lips on mine, your hips are my world
Yeah, you know how to drive me crazy
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Dancing so close to me
You dirty talk so I can read it
I know you feel the same, the pressure building up
I'm not gonna stop ya, so come get a piece
Your place or mine, don't you be shy, girl
Let's get your feet up on the ceiling
Your lips on mine, your hips are my world
Yeah, you know how to drive to me crazy
Yeah
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Show me some love, baby baby, come on
She moan, the way I put on the glove
You love dancing, socks on in our mansion
Where I can see that we could be
Follow my lead, tap dancing through the romancing
I ain't end up buying flowers, I'm just all about diamonds
Split it two ways, making love
With the money on top of the duvet
Who say?
Your place or mine, don't you be shy, girl
Let's get your feet up on the ceiling
Your lips on mine, your hips are my world
Yeah, you know how to drive my crazy
Yeah
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
You walk that way so I can see it
A supersonic superfreak, a dollar worth of dimes
You know that I want ya all over me
Your place or mine, don't you be shy, girl
Let's get your feet up on the ceiling
Your lips on mine, your hips are my world
Yeah, you know how to drive me crazy
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)
Tension, tension, tension and release
(Yeah, baby, come show me some love
Yeah, baby, come show me some love)

Your lips on mine, your hips are my world
Yeah, you know how to drive to me crazy

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.
