If I were more like Jesus
I'd get down on my knees to pray
But I'm not
My daughter sits upon uncertain shoulders
I guess fate is sticking to its guns
And you stood out on the front porch shouting
"There's a soul in everything
There's a reason for all that has occurred"
But I am not behind the door
I don't live there anymore
Unmitigated fever
The doctor says he just don't know why I've come
Hallucinations and courageous stands
But sooner or later, boy, you know you're going under
Was that a shot fired in the distance?
Was that a knock?
Were those mumbled words yours?
How can I be sure when I don't live there anymore?
And I'm climbing this ladder
My head in the clouds
And I hope that it matters
I am having my doubts
If I were more like Jesus
I'd get down on my knees to pray
But I'm not
I'd get down on my knees to pray
But I'm not
My daughter sits upon uncertain shoulders
I guess fate is sticking to its guns
And you stood out on the front porch shouting
"There's a soul in everything
There's a reason for all that has occurred"
But I am not behind the door
I don't live there anymore
Unmitigated fever
The doctor says he just don't know why I've come
Hallucinations and courageous stands
But sooner or later, boy, you know you're going under
Was that a shot fired in the distance?
Was that a knock?
Were those mumbled words yours?
How can I be sure when I don't live there anymore?
And I'm climbing this ladder
My head in the clouds
And I hope that it matters
I am having my doubts
If I were more like Jesus
I'd get down on my knees to pray
But I'm not

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
