There's a girl in the crowd and she's bawling her eyes out
Only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids
And we're all fine in the back of your mind if we do what we like
Then we could be with you tonight and if we bleed you dry
And we're alright in the back of our minds if we do what we like
Then we could be with you tonight and if they bleed you dry
Taken half the tide, taken all your tide and if we bleed you dry
Bleed, you dry, we've taken half your tide and if we bleed you dry

You are the bearer of a womb without love, you could have had it all
Is that what you said, is that what you said on a low ride
You said, in your hands you'll stay all with me today
You are the bearer of a womb without love, you could have had it all
Is that what you said, is that what you said on a low ride
You said, in your hands you'll stay all with me today

There's a hand in the till still believing what she sells
Only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids
And we're all fine in the back of your mind
If we do what you like then we could be with you tonight
And if they bleed you dry, and taken half the tide, and taken all your tide

You are the bearer of a womb without love, you could have had it all
Is that what you said, is that what you said on a low ride
You said, in your hands you'll stay all with me today
You are the bearer of a womb without love, you could have had it all
Is that what you said, is that what you said on a low ride
You said, in your hands you'll stay all with me today

Bleed you dry, I'm taking half your tide and if I bleed you dry

    awesome, awesome song. Only correction is, I think it's "time" not "tide". This new album is so so good.

    My Interpretation

    from the official lyrics booklet:

    there's a girl in the crowd and she's bawling her eyes out

    only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids

    and we're all fine in the back of your mind if we do what we like then we could be with you tonight

    if we bleed you dry

    we're alright in the back of our minds if we do what we like then we could be with you tonight

    if they bleed you dry taken half the tide taken all your tide

    if we bleed you dry

    bleed you dry we're taken half your tide if we bleed you dry

    you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said stay in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

    you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

    there's a hand in the till still believing what she sells

    only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids

    we're all fine in the back of your mind if we do what you like then we could be with you tonight

    if they bleed you dry taken half the tide taken all your tide

    you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

    you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

    bleed you dry

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.
