We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, now we know it's much too late

We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me

(Ooh, wa-ooh) We've had our doubts
We never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs (ooh, wa-ooh)
But that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up (giving up)
But we could never stay away
(Ooh, wa-ooh) We thought about breaking up
But now we know it's much too late

And it's no great mystery (ooh)
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me

(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me

We are bound by all the rest (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me

(Ooh, yes, it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) I'm happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) Happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, yes, it's true)

    This is a beautiful song. One of the first songs I ever heard as a child. Always brings back good memories. Also, the video is very close to heart for me!

    Together through thick and thin. No matter what life throws this couple's way, they're permanently - as the song goes - stuck to each other. Suck it, you naysayers! Hah!

    My Interpretation

    When I was a kid, I always enjoyed this song, mostly due to the upbeat music and the silly video. But I was thinking about the lyrics recently, and I think it means something else.

    To me, it sounds like it was written by someone who is in denial about how crappy their partner is. The title itself, while most probably consider it "cute" to say they are stuck with each other, it's actually pretty sad. Consider the person who is in an abusive relationship but can't bring themselves to leave for whatever reason (family, their kids, etc.)

    "We've had our doubts, but we never took them seriously" -- This is one of the most telling lines. If you have doubts about someone but you don't face them, you're asking for trouble down the road.

    "That's the way it's supposed to be", referring to having "ins and outs". Yes every relationship has some of these, but to what extent? This reminds me of a battered wife who keeps telling herself it's worth it to stay because of the good times, when her man isn't drunk off his ass and isn't using her as an excuse and/or punching bag.

    "We thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late" It's never too late to break up with someone if they are treating you poorly. If someone feels like it's "too late" they either have horrible low self esteem, thinking no one else will want them, or they are "staying together for the kids" which is usually a horrible idea.

    Even the line, "I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me" sounds like wishful thinking at best.

    To me, this song sounds like someone who is in denial and they know it, but can't quite face it. Throw in the "church organ" at the beginning and you have a whole other level, with the religion aspect, but I won't go there at this time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Album art
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.
