A man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
that falling over you is the news of the day.
The angels fall like rain,
and your love is all of heaven away
Inside you time moves and she don't fade,
The ghost in you, she don't fade.

The race is on I'm on your side, but hearing you my engines die,
I'm in the mood for you, for running away
Oh the stars come down in you
And love, love, love, can't give it away
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away
The ghost in you, she don't fade.

So don't you go, cause it makes no sense
and all these talking supermen
just take away the time, just to get it away
Ain't it just like the rain
Cause love, love, love, love, is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away.

The man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
That falling over you is the news of the day.
And love, will not fade
And love, love, love, will not fade away.

    the man in my shoes runs the light all the papers lie tonight but falling over you is the news of the day

    i think this basically means that he feels like he doesn't belong in his shoes....maybe that that he is numb from pain and feels like he is watching himself from afar...the man in his shoes runs the light (the running the light part is confusing though) but that he doesnt feel like he is really there in heart, just in body. Also I took the part about all the papers lie tonight just as being that newspapers always lie, but in his life the only news is that he is mourning the loss of his past lover. A great song.

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
