Lyrics:
I overthink and have trouble sleeping
All purpose gone and don’t have a reason
There’s no doctor to stop this bleeding
So I left home and jumped in the deep end
Took a job for dad, I think just to please him
So when I quit I just kept it secret
And I had friends but no longer see them
It’s just me and now all my daemons
Are heavy weighing on my heart
I guess I’m done already, all but given up
Burning days til the week ends
And starts, I just pretend I’m not where I am
Should I cancel my plans?
Saturday night is giving me a reason to rely on the strobe light, the lifeline of a promise in a shot glass
And I’ll take that if you’re giving out love from a plastic bag
My friend died it’s been years still grieving
And I thought time would be somehow healing
When love finds me I’m too numb to feel it
Why the fuck am I here still breathing?
I would pray but I don’t believe it
Woe is me but I don’t care either
Life is not the way that it seems but
Maybe this will all be a dream
And I’ll stay steady, balance on the rope
I guess that I’m not ready to rely on the hope
I’m burning days til the week ends
And starts, I just pretend I'm not where I am
Should I cancel my plans?
Saturday night is giving me a reason to rely on the strobe light, the lifeline of a promise in a shot glass
And I’ll take that if you’re giving out love from a plastic bag
I’m a wreck head
Take me to the other side
Don’t look in my eyes
It’s almost morning I’m still not leaving
It’s wearing off but I still can feel it
Another one and I’ll touch the ceiling
This is all I want to be
Saturday night is giving me a reason to rely on the strobe light, the lifeline of a promise in a shot glass
And I’ll take that if you’re giving out love from a plastic bag

*These acoustic Living Room Sessions are like the best idea ever.* 💛✨

[@JennyLouLou]

I could listen to Ed sing the acoustic alphabet on repeat. Anything on repeat...

[@RSpark]

I covered Plastic Bag and more songs from the album and would love if you checked it out, thx!

Ed Sheeran is a gentle soul who truly cares for his fans. He really truly goes the distance for his fans. I've never heard of any other artists going to fans houses to play for them. They're a lucky bunch. Thank you Ed for your dedication. It's greatly appreciated.

[@Max.Makes.Musics]

Love that voice crack, it just add so much vulnerability and sympathy to Ed’s amazing voice, instead of putting on some autotune or voice over he decided to keep it in to be real with the sheerios and make it a true live experience like he’s right next to you ❤

[@Upndouin]

It did! Made it even more special ❤❤❤❤

[@davidmueller9342]

Like Kermit

[@Lizzzy0225]

OMGGGG I went to HS with Alex!! Super kind human being! HE deserves this :)

[@its.patchy]

How is nobody talking about how awesome that guys living room is! He also has all the Ed Sheeran posters up and is even rocking the ed sheeran divide jacket.

[@castiel7025]

I also had all his guitars on the right 😉 complete from + × ÷ = - and mathematics edition! I wish I had flipped them 😭😭

[@its.patchy]

@@castiel7025 that's sick man!! I'm glad a big fan like yourself got to experience the moment!

[@sir_alfredm]

yayyy! im happy for you alex! that's my best friend out there! 🤧

[@allebasi]

These fans are all so lucky! So happy for them🥺

[@Mokiecon]

I love the acoustic versions more than the album (perhaps because that will always be the form I heard in my core memory from going to the Subtract show). Such a special moment for Alex.

[@MacGyver1991]

Totally agree. But I think those if us that know 200+ of his songs lean more towards simple clean performances.

[@iamzeeshankhan]

This new album is reminding me so much of Ed from the time of "Loose Change", "5" eps, even Plus and Multiply. And I am soooo grateful for it.

[@happiness6177]

This gives me Goosebumps....🍂Great Music & Rhythm matched with such desperate Lyrics😢Congrats Alex on being chosen🍂😊

[@TomiWebPro]

Yo, his Fans are so with him. This will be an amazing series!

[@cosmicbubble12]

Loved Ed and been to 4 gigs. These new albums seem 10x better acoustic. He’s clearly going through stuff from his songs. Would love to get some songs like divide and previous but these are epic but I much prefer these acoustic xx

[@RSpark]

I covered Plastic Bag and more songs from the album and would love if you checked it out, thx!

[@thismanatemyson]

There are a lot of song from this album that are special, but this is THE song that is memorable. Absolute my favorite, maybe my favorite Ed Sheeran song ever.

[@laurenhorner6963]

When these videos came out I RAN to get the live versions. These are so amazing and I love that they didn’t re-record them to erase any tiny imperfections that came from them being live. This song is my new favorite.

[@madsquishy3410]

What a truly beautiful song. I can't even imagine getting to sit that close while he plays and sings. I would be a bawling mess lol.

[@michelespinale8932]

Sana all talaga uy

[@MacGyver1991]

Wow. I forgot about this song and how much it reminds me of my life. No choice but to find a place two days after High School graduation. Government support ends at the age of 18 or once graduated from high school, whichever comes first. Unfortunately, our apartment lease aligned with the school year. Nothing like packing while trying to study and finish school for Uni. Fortunately a friend and his parents adopted me when i met him in 1984, we graduated in 1991. Unfortunately we were as far apart in the city as we could be for two people that had parents or a non driving parent. We were probably 30 miles apart, but it was 3 hours by bus and required 5 miles of walking to see each other at least once a month. Anyway, thanks Ed. You saved my life numerous times the year offer the past ten months. Feel free to go over and hear me attempt to reproduce a fraction of your gift. I had my access to the outside world removed for 35 days 10/03/23-11/07/23. Can't and won't pay to recover my used car that i scraped up the funds to purchase that was a refurbished hybrid for a friend in Cleveland Ohio. Despite the couple cutting over 20% of the 6d listing just to help me ($1500). Not including the test drive, i drove 2 miles before someone backed into it while parked. Causing me to be arrested for asking him why he backed into a space with a vehicle in it already. Instead of rolling down the window, acknowledging my Knocking or even driving off if scared as claimed... He reached for something in his console and kept his back to me. My charge Criminal Trespass. His charge for hitting my car. Nothing. Not even an attempt to get and provide his insurance info to me by the 4 police cars that responded in 55s, since the police station is less than .25 miles from my house or the station. Racial profiling at it's best. I went and changed my race on my license immediately upon release. Hopefully that solves the problem in the future.
