This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
baby i can't make it straight
my boots got stuck and i can't wait
you're the one who's got no tongue
look and see which way it's run
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
obituaries i seen right through
brochures of the times we knew
taxes on the days we spent
repossessed and named and chained
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
accusations, suspects named
battered husbands, cousins blamed
holdin up your trophy bones
sticks and stones and lesser knowns
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
and all your hopes can be derailed
low salt (?) in the seas you sailed
no dreams in the night you lie
all the stars stripped from the sky
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
my boots got stuck and i can't wait
you're the one who's got no tongue
look and see which way it's run
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
obituaries i seen right through
brochures of the times we knew
taxes on the days we spent
repossessed and named and chained
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
accusations, suspects named
battered husbands, cousins blamed
holdin up your trophy bones
sticks and stones and lesser knowns
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
and all your hopes can be derailed
low salt (?) in the seas you sailed
no dreams in the night you lie
all the stars stripped from the sky
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away
man alive, i can't drive my too big cares away

“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.
