I just quit my job
Now I can stay out all night long
Where my mind is tomorrow
Don't matter 'til the dawn

Can go to a million places
Could sing a thousand songs
Until my mind is made up
I'll be really really gone

When was the last time
You were able to take a breath?
To not give in, be sore and sin
Or to be a nervous wreck

I've been to the darkest places
I've been a total mess
I picked up what I could
And I laughed off all the rest

When I hear the radio play
I don't care that it's not me
Remember the days I'd shout anything
For you to see me
I could never sing now my voice
Is free
Now my voice is

I just quit my job
Now I can stay out all night long
And where my mind is tomorrow
It don't matter 'til the dawn

I can go to a million places
Oh, I can sing a thousand songs
Until my mind is made up
I'll be really really gone

When I hear the radio play
I don't care that it's not me
I remember the days I'd shout anything
For you to see me
I could never sing now my voice
Is free
Now my voice is

    My favorite song on the album, and one unlike any other by The Men. "Candy" makes me utterly tumescent every time I listen to it.

Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
