The A Team lyrics - Ed Sheeran

White lips, pale face

Breathing in snowflakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, day's end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat

Tried to swim and stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

An angel will die

Covered in white

Closed eye

And hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

They scream

The worst things in life come free to us

And we're all under the upper hand

Go mad for a couple grams

And we don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland

Or sell love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

To fly, fly

For angels to fly, to fly, to fly

For angels to die

Drunk lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I wanna be drunk when I wake up

On the right side of the wrong bed

And never an excuse I made up

Tell you the truth I hate

What didn't kill me,

It never made me stronger at all

Love will scar your make up

Lips sticks to me, so now I maybe lean back there

I'm sat here wishing I was sober

I know I'll never hold you like I used to

But a house gets cold when you cut the heating

Without you to hold I'll be freezing

Can't rely on my heart to beat in

'Cause you take parts of it every evening

Take words out of my mouth just from breathing

Replace with phrases like 'when you leaving me? '

Should I? Should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again, I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love

I wanna hold your heart in both hands

Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can

And I got no plans for the weekend, so should we speak then?

Keep it between friends

Though I know you'll never love me like you used to

There may be other people like us

Who see the flicker of a clipper when they light up

Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before

And you don't hold me anymore

On cold days cold plays out like the band's name

I know I can't heal things with a handshake

You know I can change, as I began saying

You cut me wide open like landscape

Open bottles of beer but never champagne

To applaud you with the sound that my hands make

Should I? Should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again, I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love

All by myself, I'm here again

All by myself, you know I'll never change

All by myself

All by myself

I'm just drunk again

I'll be drunk again

I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love

UNI lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I found your hair band on my bedroom floor

The only evidence that you'd been here before

And I don't get waves of missing you anymore

They're more like tsunami tides

In my eyes

Never getting dry,

So I get high,

Smoke away the days, never sleep with the light on

Weeks pass in the blink of an eye

And I'm still drunk at the end of the night

I don't drink like everybody else

I do it to forget things about myself

Stumble and fall

With the head spin I got,

My mind's with you but my heart's just not

So am I close to you anymore if it's over?

And there's no chance that we'll work it out

That's why you and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

You and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

Everybody said we'd be together forever,

But I know that I never wanna settle down,

Come around, break up the love like Lego now

Never wanna turn into another like you

Sleep with my thoughts

And I dance with my views

Everything's great, not everything's sure,

But you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus

Now I'm in a position to be another stalker

Like everything I say seems to all sound awkward

Like our last kiss. It was perfect,

But we were nervous on the surface

And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it,

Pain is only relevant if it still hurts

I forget like an elephant

Or we can use a sedative

And go back to the day we fell in love just on our first kiss

So am I close to you anymore if it's over?

And there's no chance that we'll work it out

You and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

You and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

Wo-ooooahhhh [2x] oohh ohh

Because if I was gonna go somewhere,

I'd be there by now

And maybe I can let myself down

And I'm thinking that I'm unaware,

I keep my feet on the ground

And keep looking around

To make sure I'm not the only one to feel low

Because if you want,

I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered

From all that I've done wrong

And I know you'll say

That I'm the only one,

But I know God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will

'Cause you and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

You and I ended over U N I

And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied

Grade 8 lyrics - Ed Sheeran

My mind is a warrior,

My heart is a foreigner,

My eyes are the colour of red like a sunset,

I'll never keep it bottled up

And left to the hands of the coroner,

Be a true heart not a follower,

We're not done yet.

And I see it in your movements tonight,

If we should ever do this right,

I'm never gonna let you down,

Oh I'll never let you down,

Now keep it on the down low

And I'll keep you around so I'll know

That I'll never let you down,

I'll never let you down.

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

Now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

Now, my eyes are a river filler,

This drink is a liver killer,

My chest is a pillow for your weary head to lay to rest again,

Your body is my ballpoint pen

And your mind is my new best friend,

Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again,

Now I see it in your movements tonight,

If we should ever do this right,

I'm never gonna let you down,

Oh I'll never let you down,

We'll keep it on the down low

And I'll keep you around so I'll know

That I'll never let you down,

I'll never let you down,

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down [x4]

'Cause You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

Wake Me Up lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I should ink my skin with your name

And take my passport out again

And just replace it

See I could do without a tan

On my left hand,

Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle

And I should run you a hot bath

And fill it up with bubbles

'Cause maybe you're lovable

And maybe you're my snowflake

When your eyes turn from green to gray

In the winter I'll hold you in a cold place

And you should never cut your hair

'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder

And you will never know

Just how beautiful you are to me

But maybe I'm just in love

When you wake me up

And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?

Could you make me a cup of tea to open my eyes in the right way?

And I know you love Shrek

'Cause we've watched it 12 times

But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too

And if your DVD breaks today

You should've got a VCR

Because I've never owned a Blu-ray, true say

And now I've always been shit at computer games

And your brother always beats me

And if I lost, I'd go across and chuck all the controllers at the TV

And then you'd laugh at me

And be asking me

If I'm gonna be home next week

And then you'd lie with me 'til I fall asleep

And flutter eye lash on my cheek between the sheets

And you will never know

Just how beautiful you are to me

But maybe I'm just in love

When you wake me up

And I think you hate the smell of smoke

You always try get me to stop

But you drink as much as me

And I get drunk a lot

So I'll take you to the beach

And walk along the sand

And I'll make you a heart pendant

With a pebble held in my hand

And I'll carve it like a necklace

So the heart falls where your chest is

And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach

And it falls just where it needs to be

And rests peacefully

So you just need to breathe

To feel my heart against yours now, against yours now

'Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up

Small Bump lyrics - Ed Sheeran

You're just a small bump unborn

In four months you're brought to life

You might be left with my hair

But you'll have your mother's eyes

I'll hold your body in my hands

Be as gentle as I can

But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans

A small bump

In four months you're brought to life

I'll whisper quietly

I'll give you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright

Oh, you're just a small bump unknown

You'll grow into your skin

With a smile like hers

And a dimple beneath your chin

Fingernails the size

Of a half grain of rice

And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide

A small bump

In four months you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly

I'll tell you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright

And you can lie with me

With your tiny feet

When you're half asleep

I'll leave you be

Right in front of me

For a couple weeks

So I can keep you safe

'Cause you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright

'Cause you were just a small bump unborn

For four months then torn from life

Maybe you were needed up there

But we're still unaware as why

This lyrics - Ed Sheeran

This is the start of something beautiful

This is the start of something new

You are the one who'd make me lose it all

You are the start of something new, ooh

And I'll throw it all away

And watch you fall into my arms again

And I'll throw it all away

Watch you fall, now

You are the earth that I will stand upon

You are the words that I will sing

And I've thrown it all away

And watched you fall into his arms again

And I've thrown it all away

Watched you fall, now

And take me back

Take me home

Watch me fall

Down to earth

Take me back for

This is the start of something beautiful

You are the start of something new

The City lyrics - Ed Sheeran

This city never sleeps

I hear the people walk by when it’s late

Sirens bleed through my windowsill

I can’t close my eyes

Don’t control what I’m into

And this tower is alive

The lights that blind keep me awake

Hood up and lace untied

The sleep fills my mind

Can't control what I’m into

London calls me a stranger, a traveller

This is now my home, my home

I’m burning on the back street

Stuck here sitting in the backseat

I’m blazing on the street

What I do isn’t up to you

If the city never sleeps

Then that makes two

The pavement is my friend

It will take me where I need to go

I find it trips me up

And puts me down

This is not what I’m used to

The shop across the road

Fills my needs and gives me company

When I need it

Voices speak through my walls

I don’t think I’m gonna make it

Past tomorrow

London calls me a stranger, a traveller

This is now my home, my home

I’m burning on the back street

Stuck here sitting in the backseat

I’m blazing on the street

What I do isn’t up to you

If the city never sleeps

Then that makes two

And my lungs hurt

And my ears bled

With the sound of the city life

Echoed in my head

Do I need this to keep me alive?

The traffic stops and starts

But I need to move along

London calls me a stranger

This is not my home, home

I’m burning on the back street

Stuck here sitting in the backseat

I’m blazing on the street

What I do isn’t up to you

And if the city never sleeps

Then that makes two

Lego House lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind

It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in

If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before

Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down, I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

[Album version ending:]

And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now

[Music video version ending:]

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

You Need Me, I Don't Need You lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound

Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd

That's you now, ciao, seems that life is great now

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud

And I can't, no, I won't hush

I'll say the words that make you blush

I'm gonna sing this now

Oh oh

See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is

I'm like glue, I stick to other artists

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous

Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures

See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me

I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy

I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free

Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me

I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse

Hell, don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell

Call yourself a singer-writer - you're just bluffing

Your name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing

I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool

I will blast and I didn't go to Brit School

I came fast with the way I act, right

I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe

And I won't be a product of my genre

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya

Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia

And musically I'm demonstrating

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating

Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me

'A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi'

'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me

'Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right

I won't stop 'til my name's in lights

At stadium heights with Damien Rice

On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

Because I'm young I know my brother's gonna give me advice

Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah

The game's over but now I'm on a new level

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal

People think that I'm bound to blow up

I've done around about a thousand shows

But I haven't got a house plus I live on a couch

So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out, wow

From day one, I've been prepared

With vo5 wax for my ginger hair

So now I'm back to the sofa, giving a dose of what the future holds

'Cause it's another day

Plus I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic

Gonna be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it

And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

Into another rapper's shoes using new laces

I'm selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers

Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the majors

Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back

Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache

I hit back when the pen hurts me

I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee

I'm still the same as a year ago

But more people hear me though

According to the MySpace and YouTube videos

I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio

Truly broke, never growing up call me Rufio

Melody music maker

Reading all the papers

They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator

'Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

You need me, man, I don't need you

Kiss Me lyrics - Ed Sheeran

One, two, three, four

Settle down with me

Cover me up

Cuddle me in

Lie down with me

And hold me in your arms

And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love

Settle down with me

And I'll be your safety

You'll be my lady

I was made to keep your body warm

But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms

Oh no

My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love

Yeah I've been feeling everything

From hate to love

From love to lust

From lust to truth

I guess that's how I know you

So I hold you close to help you give it up

So kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love

Give Me Love lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Give me love like her

'Cause lately I've been waking up alone

Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt

Told you I'd let them go

And that I'll fight my corner

Maybe tonight I'll call ya

After my blood turns into alcohol

No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out

We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

All I want is the taste that your lips allow

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, give me love

Give me love like never before

'Cause lately I've been craving more

And it's been a while but I still feel the same

Maybe I should let you go

You know I'll fight my corner

And that tonight I'll call ya

After my blood is drowning in alcohol

No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out

We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

All I want is the taste that your lips allow

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Give a little time to me or burn this out

We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

All I want is the taste that your lips allow

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (love me, love me, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

My, my, my, my, oh give me love

The Parting Glass lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Of all the money that e'er I had

I've spent it in good company

And all the harm that e'er I've done

Alas it was to none but me

And all I've done for want of wit

To memory now I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had

They are sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that e'er I had

They would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call

Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk

A man may fight and not be slain

A man may court a pretty girl

And perhaps be welcomed back again

But since it has so ought to be

By a time to rise and a time to fall

Come fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all

Good night and joy be with you all

Autumn Leaves lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Another day, another life

Passes by just like mine

It's not complicated

Another mind, another soul

Another body to grow old

It's not complicated

Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

And hush now

Close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

Another tear, another cry

Another place for us to die

It's not complicated

Another love that's gone to waste

Another light lost from your face

It's complicated

Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

And hush now

Close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

Ooh how I miss you

My symphony played the song that carried you out

Ooh how I miss you

And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay

Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

And hush now

Close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

Ooh oh, ooh oh

Ooh oh, ooh oh

Touch down

Like a seven four seven

Stay out and we'll live forever now

Little Bird lyrics - Ed Sheeran

If we take this bird in

With its broken leg

We could nurse it

She said

Come inside

For a little lie down with me

If you fall asleep

It wouldn’t be the worst thing

But when I wake up

Your make-up is on my shoulder

And tell me, if I lie down

Would you stay now

And let me hold you?

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

And I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird

If we take a walk out

In the morning dew

We could lay down

So I’m next to you

Come inside

For a little home-made tea

If you fall asleep

Then at least you’re next to me

And if I wake up

You see, it’s late, love

Go back to sleep

I’m covered by nature

And I’m safe now

Underneath this oak tree

With you beside me

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

And I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird

My little bird

My little bird

And of all these things

I’m sure of

I’m not quite certain

Of your love

And you made me scream

But then I made you cry

When I left that little bird

With its broken leg to die

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

But I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird whoa oh oh

My little bird

My little bird

You’re my little bird

Gold Rush lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Smoke alarm went off at 9

I woke up, wiped the sleep out of my eyes

She left a note "I'll be back in 5"

Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive, hey

I was told to put my job in front of you

But it won't hold me like you do

But I do it for the love

Waiting on the gold rush

Keep it on the edge

Smoking on a roll up

When I see my friends

All they say is "Hold up

And remember the time

When we were in school

Listening to grown-ups.

Didn't learn a thing

But then again, you know what,

You know how to sing

But you don't know anything

Other than that.

So maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

And maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way

You wanna be loved."

I never told her that I liked

The way she dances slightly out of time

And pretends she knows the words

To a song she's never heard

But I tell her all the time, hey

I was told to put my job in front of you

But it won't hold me like you do

But I do it for the love

Waiting on the gold rush

Keep it on the edge

Smoking on a roll up

When I see my friends

All they say is "Hold up

And remember the time

When we were in school

Listening to grown-ups.

Didn't learn a thing

But then again, you know what,

You know how to sing

But you don't know anything

Other than that.

So maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

And maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way

You wanna be loved, hey."

But I do it for the love

Waiting on the gold rush

Keep it on the edge

Smoking on a roll up

When I see my friends

All they say is "Hold up

And remember the time

When we were in school

Listening to grown-ups.

Didn't learn a thing

But then again, you know what,

You know how to sing

But you don't know anything

Other than that.

So maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

Maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way...

And maybe you should learn to love her

Like, like the way

You wanna be loved."

Sunburn lyrics - Ed Sheeran

You’re not her

Though I try to see you differently

I tow the line

You see, I’m searching for what used to be mine

And I saw your eyes

And I saw Alice staring back at me

So I will try to find another one who suited me as well as her

I've moved far away from you

And I want to see you here beside me, dear

But things aren’t clear

When we never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I’d miss you

And I miss you

She was mine

I was hers and all that’s in between

If she would cry

I would shelter her and keep her from the darkness that will be

If I moved far away from you

And I want to see you here beside me, dear

But things aren’t clear

We never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I’d miss you

And I miss you

Don’t drop me in

It’s not my turn

If you cut deep

Then I might learn

That you scarred and left me

Like a sunburn

Don’t drop me in

It’s not my turn

If you cut deep

Then I might learn

That you scar and leave me

Like a sunburn

We never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I’d miss you

And I miss you

Lately lyrics - Ed Sheeran (feat. Devlin)

[Ed:]

I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be

Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees

Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.

Jet-lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep

Although my blood shot whites and irises they never find any

Clock stops at times where the sunshine can blind many

Although my eyes are heavy, they won't be closing soon

'Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it's true

We make corrosive tunes through acid tabs and vocables

To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves

I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme

So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine

"'Cause real will recognise real" is what my father says

And I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away

Overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow

But I'll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close.

[Devlin:]

5 o'clock with lights off

Interview with a vampire

Sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require

I swear I said, that I'll sleep when I'm dead

Who's on the beat upon the feature with Ed, it's D-E-V to the Z

Overtired, pale-faced like Michael Myers

Bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I've acquired

And over the time within this maze I'll think you'll find you'll never find that piece of mind you seek to find until your dying

'Cause I got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game

It's time to wage war

Scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives

2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight

I'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line

Villains never sleep the mastermind in all sorts of crimes,

Be wide awake just like your snorting lines

Or get left mortified like you've just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by

[Chorus:]

I never sleep

When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,

The times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be...

The times I'm living in lately.

[Ed:]

I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth

And the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out

Deliver the raps how I flow

I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me Ron

But they won't Slytherin too easy, believe me I'm Snape minded

Be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that I'm in

It's all to do with timing not the label that you sign with

Then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in

I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows

Some of the the songs I write are real because the chart is filled with si-lo-con

I'm still broke without the money for a Mac Pro, living out of three bags no talk About my cash flow

Opposite of sober cause I never did my homework

Which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older

I played a fool to catch the wise I will never tell a lie

Await death, take deep breaths, try to never die.

Never die.

[Devlin:]

2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like screws

Making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes

And if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,

Times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move

We scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most Practical to do,

Driven young gentlemen

I've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months 'causeI haven't Slept in them, true!

I'm coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so I'm correcting 'em

We got the fans all like 'Oh wow it's Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect From 'em

In the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment

Fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever Waste a second of the time I got,

I keep my pupils engaged,

Like a classroom in holy matrimony but I'm only trying to stay awake.

[Chorus:]

I never sleep

When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,

The times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be... [x4]

The times I'm living in lately.

You lyrics - Ed Sheeran (feat. Wiley)

These thoughts I have could be clear ones and they can seem vivid

the goals I reach are not near ones the further than limits

I block her out so when I'm looking through my mind she ain't in it

Can I be free for a minute, can I be me for a minute?

The thoughts I have can be dark ones, even be smart ones

Know I'm gonna have a couple straight from the heart ones

Tell you what I think I will until I depart mum

It's you that I lived for, I am the first and the last one to love you lots

Whats better than thinking about the ones you love

Nothing much when you're thinking about the ones you love

I feel the same when I'm in the floor, see the sun above

Unconditional like bills paid when I run them up

No one here to help you pain now you're gonna moan

No one here to save the day now you're all alone

Wish I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth

Fact is I wasn't so, I'm coming from a colder zone

[Chorus]

And when the sun falls down I'll be up again

I never close my eyes,

And if the dawn might break I'll see nothing when (nothing when)

My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you

My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you)

I wanna see you happy, I wanna see you smile

Cause you're been trespassing, and you won't leave my mind

Now even think about this, call me say, yes nan

I'm 31 now I'm still saying yes nan

You had to replace my mom, dad 2 parents in one

I know your proud staring at your grandson

I found a job I like like, got the flat, the cars, the bike, the quad I like

Because of you I'm tireless in every single song I write

Had a golden life, wanting people to honour mine

Tell 'em while I'm here, cause one day I'm gonna die

And when I'm I'm gone I want my music still playin'

And when my people listen to this track, it's gonna make them wanna cry

I ain't gonna lie, I think about my scene to say the games better is a must now I gotta fly

My talents gonna shine for surely, fam I know it, I work 'round the clock, I don't stop at night.

[Chorus]

And when the sun falls down I'll be up again

I never close my eyes,

And if the dawn might break I'll see nothing when (nothing when)

My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you

My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you)

My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you

My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you).

Family lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Hmm let me go,

To see my family.

Please, Father, let me go,

As my mother sleeps.

Life

I don't know about James Bond,

But 'round here nobody live twice.

When you're gone, you're gone, without no bye,

'Cause only a judge can give you life.

(Get it?)

This is my advice,

Trust me, I nearly lost my life.

3 weeks after I got this ride

Pissed like I had way too much wine.

I wished that I didn't get one,

Anyway, I was going to the Macbeth booked for a set,

Even though I didn't have a set one.

Scream hit the decks, I was like check one.

Put on a show, but it weren't my best one.

Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destination,

Then I was off to the next one,

20 minutes later I was on the M1,

Tired.

But I kept on going,

Fell asleep without even knowing.

No emotion in my face,

No movement in my legs, but the car still kept going.

Woke up,

Lorry,

Flash,

Panic,

Break,

Skid,

Crash,

Skidded,

More,

Bang,

Smash,

Out,

Cold,

Ribs,

Cracked,

Ouch.

I was in so much pain,

Crawled out of a Megane that now looked like a Mini,

When I was still on the first lane.

Baffled, didn't even know my name.

Fainted, too much shock in my brain.

Surrounded by paramedics and feds,

Trying to get up but fainted again.

See, I just want you to take a second, hear me out.

Don't think I'm happy 'cause I smile when you see me out.

I've had serious madness is where I've nearly disappeared,

Oh, I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,

To see my family,

And keep it inside,

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.

Save my soul,

Please, Father, let me go.

Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps.

Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open,

I can hear voices and my phone ringing.

Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning,

One of the worst situations I've been in.

I can hear all of the angels singing.

But when it stopped humming,

My brain turned on, started running.

Still in pain, but it started numbing,

The stone cold comeback I made was stunning.

I still tried to do a few shows 'cause I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming.

But I was left with a permanent problem,

Nobody knows about the pain that I'm inside.

Ever so cunning,

6 weeks later, jogging and running.

I used the first aid kit like a drum set,

Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming.

Trust me, when it comes to mistakes,

You can't afford to let one in.

Never done dream for a while,

The pipeline was blocked,

So I learnt and done a bit of plumbing.

They say tomorrow never dies,

But he forgot to tell you you can.

You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang,

But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam.

You can try beg for another,

Sometimes I'll be on my way to a show,

Thinking 'I just wanna see my brother',

Then do a U-turn, I'm gone, Runner.

See, I just want you to take a second, hear me out.

Don't think I'm happy 'cause I smile when you see me out.

I've had serious madness is where I've nearly disappeared.

Oh, I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,

To see my family.

And keep it inside,

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.

Save my soul,

Please, Father, let me go.

Keep me safe.

⟔As my mother sleeps

And let me go, to see my family

And keep it inside,

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps

Save my soul,

Please, Father, let me go

And keep me safe⟓

Radio lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Hi, my name is JME, there was a time when radio played me

Cause my music came from my heart, it was real to me

But now it's a par

I'm here struggling, keeping it real, while the rest of them are hustling, seeking a deal,

Sometimes I sit back and think JME just do one tune, make a couple G's and chill,

The reason I started making music is the exact same reason that I'll never do it, I swear

I didn't go through all that for this

I'll give that a miss, that's just how it is, unfair, straight Who could tell me different, look at me, determined,

Man on a mission, my music is me, and I am my music

So like it or lump it, I'm a do this

[Chorus:]

I never had a playlist in my heart, oho

Now I need an A list just to chart oho

But I've been famous from the start oho

How am I gonna make my mark? oho oh

Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio

I get in, forget the radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh, oh, oh

Thank God for night clubs and the raves

Cause I don't think they like us on the airwaves

Unless we water it down, but cordial music is boring me now

I swear, I guess it matters what your goal is

Or in this music scene, what your role is

I'm still trying here, cause I'm a pioneer

I use my mouth less than I use my eyes and ears

See I'm just telling you the truth

Can't shoot the messenger, bullet proof booth,

You won't hear me on the radio, but go to the rave and the crowd, they're raising roof

Why is that? What's going on there?

To tell you the truth, I don't really care

I am my music, my music is me

Like it or not, this is how it's gonna be

[Chorus:]

I never had a playlist in my heart, oho

Now I need an A list just to chart oho

But I've been famous from the start oho

How am I gonna make my mark oho

Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio

I get in forget the radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh, oho, oh

I feel it on the airwave, spinning on the dial

Bleeding through the speakers, rhythm by the pile,

So won't you hear me out?

Never feel it from the base line, feel it in the club

Maybe I could take time singing for the dub

So won't you hear me out?

Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio

I get in forget the radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh

Are you gonna play me, though, this song was never meant for the radio

I get in forget the radio spin, I'm just doing my thing, and I don't have time for a playlist

How much will you pay me though? The song was not a hit on the radio, oho, oho, oho, oh.

Little Lady lyrics - Ed Sheeran (feat. Mikill Pane)

[Mikill Pane:]

Listen

Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday

It's 30 degrees, Thursday

You work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes

Lady, the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night

You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try

And you remember that your punter went crazy last night

You drag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry

Forget the visit to the clinic you were booked in for

You'll make a trip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw

They'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure

They'll know you're fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door

But young woman

The pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker

Medical attention could be fatal

'Cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone that's getting dough for him

'Cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in

[Ed Sheeran:]

She's just under the upper hand

And goes mad for a couple grams

And she don't wanna go outside, tonight.

'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

Sell love to another man

It's too cold outside, for angels to fly.

For angels to fly.

[Mikill Pane:]

Little lady, your mind you've made up

Your injuries you can't hide with make-up

You need some medical advice, you make up

A little lie to say just

In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb

With any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip

Last year when your pimp just lost it

He wouldn't recognise you if you stared him in the face anyway

'Cause all the heroin is making you age

But you're a heroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag

The funds you have left go where you're from using Moneygram

Mother had to get you out the motherland to study

That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand

Little does she know you're never coming back

She put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan

He's the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer

Fancy that, you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.

[Ed Sheeran:]

She's just under the upper hand

Goes mad for a couple grams

And she don't wanna go outside, tonight.

'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

Sell love to another man

It's too cold outside, for angels to fly

Now an angel will die, covered in white

With closed eyes and hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight,

Straight down the line.

[Mikill Pane:]

Little lady, you're trembling with fear

Your skinny frame kinda resembles a deer

You're sitting facing the detective, oh dear

The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it,

She's only gone and made it much worse calling police in

She'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused

You're causing scandal going mad in the ward now

The cop is trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you

The same question he keeps trying to ask you, 'Who you working for?'

He's talking to you like you're worth more than a dirty whore

You're having a conversation you could be murdered for

You're learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court

It's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before

Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard

He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card

Begs you to use it

He's useless if you're gonna be stupid

'Cause an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, you're on your own

You've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe

You reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home

Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat

And then a voice says, 'Where you been bitch? I wanna know.'

No prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness

You open the front door, he boots you in

There's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror

Get your alibi straight, you could be killed for an error

He towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight

At this point your life flashes before your eyes

Your handbag's dropped and all the contents are all over the floor

Despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye

And in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece

And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc in the street.

Little lady left this earth in the worst way

All because she got a card on her 13th birthday

[Ed Sheeran:]

And we're all under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And we don't wanna go outside, tonight.

'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

Sell love to another man.

It's too cold outside, for angels to fly, for angels to fly, and fly fly,

For angels to fly, to fly, to fly, angels to die

Drown Me Out lyrics - Ed Sheeran (feat. Ghetts)

I’m in so deep Omar Epps can relate to my situation on a real,

Pain ain’t the emotion I wanna feel but I’m thriving off it so it's only right, I like this topic

I’ll be on a hill, keeping my head above water

I can’t afford to ever get caught in a corner

So I move with the force of a sorcerer

It’s dark when I’m about just me myself and my shadow

I'm parro, running out of ammo, and it seems like everyone around me is on the same path so it’s narrow

The less then the better, a more proof for the last one left so they don't leave me as wet as an umbrella

I play fool to catch wise are they ever gonna guess I'm clever

How can I be at my best with this pressure

I got a lot to loose but when I watch the news my mind’s infected with terror

No wonder I’m under stress, I got my door kicked off by a bunch of feds

And when they left It looked like I had rave and invited more than a hundred guests

I should of bust the back door and jump the fence

It easy when you look back, shoulda, woulda, coulda but I bet you can’t bring should woulda could back

Back to fifteen I said to myself, that I’m more than a hood track!

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out, out, out

You won’t drown me out, out, out

You won’t drown me out

You can’t ever drown me out, the water supplies too low

And I'm around about 6'1, 10 stone

I've never seen someone drown without, a sufficient amount of liquid in their lungs

A violent MC, my mouth can vouch

Do I sound like I’m choking? Seriously, do I sound like I’m joking?

I’m floating, even though that they wanna send me to the bottom of the ocean

But I am a ship that's sunk many years, I’m maintaining

Plain sailing, no commotion

Like a dolphin, when it’s in motion

But i can't break me, so why would I show them I’m broken

No real shit, throw my skin ain’t close to corrosion

Fuck em all, this ain't tug of war, still don't get roped in the open, I don’t wanna reveal my violent side

But I swear that I will soon if the Lord above don't provide a sign

Then I’ma kill you, arm for arm, eye for eye

Nah, I just wanna live my life, but you don’t wanna see this guy survive.

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out, out, out

You won’t drown me out

You won’t drown me out

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out

Ooo, you can drag me in the deep ends

Ooo, but you will never drown me out, out, out

You won’t drown me out

You won’t drown me out.

Nightmares lyrics - Ed Sheeran

They tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep

But now I'm working to achieve, but sleep is the only thing I never see

And I vowed that my breathing will never cease

To the retrieve then I can't let them be

I won't let 'em leave and I had the same feeling since 17

But I wasn't ready then like a lemon's green

Now I'm in the magazines almost every week,

Cause I'm getting heat like in Tenerife,

Right now it's better than it's ever been

Never fade like a plant that's evergreen

It's what I hoped in my heart, but my self doubts are getting me,

Faith in my crafts getting dark by the day and I'm getting weak,

Cause I'm new, I'm not where the stars be.

They chase dreams together like a slumber party,

And now I'm on my own, even though I'm smooth sailing

I'm scared to sing, cause my nightmares'll fade in.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

You better wake up cause I am making moves,

And even when I'm dozing I'm breaking rules,

I'm only hitting the sack when I'm training,

Too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze.

Made my bed and that's where I'm heading,

I fly straight with the best man I embed 'em

Married to the game was a quiet wedding, then I had to fight to get her

Now I'm taking control of my inception,

Cause they try to hit my misses with my erection,

See they better marry donna cause when I strike, strike,

Not even Argentina's gonna cry for them.

See I'm awake at night, with the ammunish

The haters know where the family lives.

Anyone I catch playing knock down ginger,

Is gonna lose a lot more, than I need it.

They say sleep is the cousin of death,

But I hear shit, cousin I am deaf

Gang signs I'm a N/A reading.

I'm a CEO, man you suckers are next.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

They watching me! They watch me sleep!

Let me go!

I fell asleep on sofa, woke up in reality,

And daydream about losing my sanity.

I've been rhyming forever got a blind flow.

So I can see an off note with my eyes closed.

But to achieve your dreams you can't doze off cause you dream a sleep

I ain't nodding off but I'm nodding to the beat.

I be shocking in my sheets, when I should have been asleep.

See, all the dreams I'm fond of,

You placed me in the team insomnia

Now, I'm Mr hard worker,

In my nightmares I'm Mr can't turn up,

And I missed my chance worst luck,

Trying to hit women like Mr Ike Turner

Ch'yeah, but I walked from that ish,

Now they gotta put me to rest, mattress.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Watching me!

Goodbye To You lyrics - Ed Sheeran (feat. Dot Rotten)

Hey... Can you hear me?

I just wanted to let you know...

Hmm...

I hope you can hear what I write to you

How could I say goodbye to you?

When I'm a life that came out of the inside of a life that was inside of you

I gotta respect the way you provided food, for the whole fam

You came over a moon rush supporting a mar jays old man

Cold double 8, 8 kids bare wheels

Plus racists full of hatred in your own plant

3 jobs in a day

Rest in life in you working but you were never stress free

Just locked in a cage slaving

They said they were gold in the pavements

But you came and saw the road to amazement

Broke your heart

But still you were prone to last and your sorrow was over fast

I hope your listening right

I still think of you every Sunday

No one can top your chicken and rice

Even through the darkness times

You held us all up because your vision was bright

I knew your strength was your wisdom inside

You never let anyone see your heartache

You just got on with it

Anyone tells me that they knew you said you were beautiful

And your words you would stand strong with it

Cause they were like warmth on a winter night

But I was just too young to go on with it

And there somethings I could try to do

But it's an impossible task for me to even try to say goodbye to you

I couldn't do that, I owe my life to you.

And of the pieces of my soul...

(Because I need a sign, I hope this pain will heal in time...)

You know I never want to be alo-oh-oh-one...

I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air

And will you think of me up there?

Can I say goodbye to you?

And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face

Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?

Can I say goodbye to you? Ohh...

I think you phoney

I was younger with the knowledge of things that I know now

I would be by your side when you needed me

Instead of asking you 'Nan can I go out? '

Standing in a road with the gangs that I know now

Everyone's missing you loads, Jessica's grown up

Warreen, Lauren and Alex are fine and I'm living with hope

It's been a while since I've seen C and the mouths

I miss seeing a family, being a family

And us agreeing with smiles how it used to be as a child

But as time goes by, the bridge seems longer

Family problems have never been funny

In my heart the only one that dissed me was Sonia

She took all our inheritance money

Left the rest of us to pick up the pieces

I never forgive the way she betrayed us.

There ain't a big enough reason

Before I sell out my fam I'll be giving up breathing

But I guess that everyone's different

Or should I say no one's perfect?

She had happiness in front of her

But chose to ride the wave that no ones surfing.

Since you gone the foundations crumbled

So building it back up is my next step

I got all the bricks and the cement but

It's hard when it's done, I don't know what to expect

So give me the strength that I need to perform this task

Make it right, I must do

And I ask cause I trust you

It goes way beyond a song when I say I love you.

And of the pieces of my soul...

(Because I need a sign I hope this pain will heal in time...)

You know I never wanna be alo-oh-oh-one...

I can see the stars as a cold the wind greets the air

And will you think of me up there?

Can I say goodbye to you?

And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face

Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?

Can I say goodbye to you? Ohh...

It's just for now so I should hush...

I'll never get enough, I'll see you when I see you but,

I miss you... Ohh how I miss you...

It's just for now so I should hush...

I'll never get enough, I'll see you when I see you but,

I miss you... Ohh how I miss you...

There ain't enough words to describe

How sorry I am for the pain that I caused

Sorry for when I stuck up my own blood

We were young and he said it was rapeing his broad

And for the day police came to the door

I'm sorry for being such a bad youth

Stealing from your purse and making you mourn

I never been able to say this before

Cause I was so inconsiderate

You loved me unconditionally

And I took advantage of it like a idiot.

Not seeing the pure soul that I was living with

I really hope that you can forgive me

You going away was a punishment

But I won't let go I'm holding you with me

But I still fight the emotions within me.

I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air

And will you think of me up there?

And can I say goodbye to you?

And paint the stains of the teardrops down your face,

Feel the chill of your warm embrace?

And can I say goodbye to you?

I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air,

And will you think of me up there?

Can I say goodbye to you?

And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face

Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?

Can I say goodbye to you...?

Cold Coffee lyrics - Ed Sheeran

She's like cold coffee in the morning

I'm drunk off last nights whisky and coke

She'll make me shiver without warning

And make me laugh as if I'm in on the joke

And you can stay with me forever

Or you could stay with me for now

Tell me if I'm wrong

Tell me if I'm right

Tell me if you need a loving hand

To help you fall asleep tonight

Tell me if I know

Tell me if I do

Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

I'll wake with coffee in the morning

But she prefers two lumps of sugar and tea

Outside the day is up and calling

But I don't have to be so, please go back to sleep

Stay with me forever

Or you could stay with me for now

Tell me if I'm wrong

Tell me if I'm right

Tell me if you need a loving hand

To help you fall asleep tonight

Tell me if I know

Tell me if I do

Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

'Cause I love the way you wake me up

For goodness sake will my love not be enough?

Tell me if I'm wrong

Tell me if I'm right

Tell me if you need a loving hand

To help you fall asleep tonight

Tell me if I know

Tell me if I do

Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

Tell me if I'm wrong

Tell me if I'm right

Tell me if you need a loving hand

To help you fall asleep tonight

Fall lyrics - Ed Sheeran

You and I

Two of a mind

This love’s

One of a kind

You and I

We’re drifting

Over the edge

And I will fall for you

And I will fall for you

If I fall for you

Would you fall too?

You and I

Learning to speak

With kisses on cheeks

You and I

We’re lifted

Over the edge

And I will fall for you

And I will fall for you

If I fall for you

Would you fall too?

And I will fall for you

And I will fall for you

And if I fall for you

Would you fall too?

Would you fall too?

Would you fall too?

Would you fall too?

Would you fall too?

Fire Alarms lyrics - Ed Sheeran

The rain wont stop falling

It's harder than before

This car keeps on stalling

Pedal to the floor

What I need to know

Is if you love me and I

Really need to know

Is if you want me when you call

If you want me when you call

We were young and we were foolish

School books in our arms

Dodging homework, dodging classes

To set off fire alarms

And what I need to know

Is if you love me and I

Really need to know

If you need me when you call

If you want me when you call

We are waving our lives away

We are waving our lives away

We are waving our lives away

We are waving our lives away

We are waving (and what I need to know)

We are waving (is if you love me and I)

We are waving (really need to know)

We are waving (if you need me when you call)

We are waving (what I need to know)

We are waving (is if you love me and I)

We are waving (really need to know)

We are waving (if you need me when you call)

What I need to know

Is if you love me and I

Really need to know

If you need me when you call

If you want me when you call

She lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I paid all my dues

And she wanted to know

That I'd never leave her

Now I'm ready to go

And strange as it seems

She's endless to me

She's just like paperwork

But harder to read

Patience, my enemy

And loving's my friend

It's harder to leave

With my heart on my sleeve

Than to stay and just pretend

Oh, she knows me so well

Oh, she knows me like I know myself

I made all my plans

And she has made hers

She kept me in mind

But I wasn't sure

I searched every room

For a way to escape

But every time

I tried to leave

She keeps holding on to me

For dear life

And blocking my way

Patience, my enemy

And loving's my friend

It's harder to leave

With my heart on my sleeve

Than to stay and just pretend

Oh, she knows me so well

Oh, she knows me like I know myself

And like the back of her hand

She already understands everything

Won't you stay?

She says

And she already knows how it goes

And where she stands

I'll stay, anyway

Cos she knows me so well

Oh, she knows me like I know myself

Oh, she knows me so well

Oh, she knows me like I know myself

I know myself

Oh, she knows me like I know myself

I know myself

I know myself

I know myself

Where We Land lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Treat me beneath this clear night sky

And I will lie with you

I start to feel those butterflies

When I'm next to you

Tell me your secrets

Give me a friend

Let all the good times flood in

Do I love you?

Do I hate you?

I can't make up my mind

So let's freefall

See where we land

It's been this way since we were young

We'll fight and then make up

I'll breathe your air into my lungs

When I feel your touch

Tell me your secrets

Give me a friend

Let all the good times flood in

Do I love you?

Do I hate you?

I can't make up my mind

So let's freefall

And see where we land

Tada ra ra

Tada ra ra

Tada ra ra

Tada ra ra

Tada ra ra

Tada ra ra

Tell me your secrets

Give me a friend

Let all the good times flood in

Do I love you?

Do I hate you?

I can't make up my mind

So let's freefall

And see where we land

The A Team lyrics - Ed Sheeran

White lips, pale face

Breathing in snowflakes

Burnt lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, day's end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat

Tried to swim and stay afloat

Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes

Weary-eyed, dry throat

Call girl, no phone

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

The worst things in life come free to us

'Cause we're just under the upper hand

And go mad for a couple grams

And she don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

Or sells love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

An angel will die

Covered in white

Closed eye

And hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight

Straight down the line

And they say

She's in the Class A Team

Stuck in her daydream

Been this way since eighteen

But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries

They scream

The worst things in life come free to us

And we're all under the upper hand

Go mad for a couple grams

And we don't want to go outside tonight

And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland

Or sell love to another man

It's too cold outside

For angels to fly

Angels to fly

To fly, fly

For angels to fly, to fly, to fly

For angels to die

Homeless lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Mmm...

Whoa oh...

Could I wake up next to you

When it's hitting double figures

Look into your eyes

Like I'm looking into double mirrors

Could you make it any clearer

Everything's such a blur

It's not my turn

It's hers to get hurt

On a late night

Coming home from way too many train rides

Lace not as red as my face

I'm home at the same time

Highbury estate's fine

Smoking like a dragon, but don't chase lines

Hey....

I haven't slept for the past week

Two hours ain't enough for me

I feel inspired, at quarter to three AM

I haven't changed since our last meet

I'm still getting all my meals for free

I think I'm being shunned by my feet again

'Cause it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me yeah...

And now I'm sitting on a night bus

Flicking through my iPod

Feeling kinda tired

So I try to close my eyes up

Driver, turn the lights off

Lights on, on stage, mics on

Song plays, nice one

Gotta keep my hype strong

Truth be, never went to Uni

People see right through me

but I'm not a fool, see

I'm never gonna do one

Gonna live past 22, done

Everything I need to

Except get a 2:1

I haven't slept for the past week

Two hours ain't enough for me

I feel inspired, at quarter to three AM

I haven't changed since our last meet

I'm still getting all my meals for free

Think I'm being shunned by my feet again

'Cause it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me yeah...

When I feel cold

You keep me warm

And I'm not looking for some loose change

Just wanna find a true mate

Who wants to be my duvet hey-eh

It's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

And it's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be [6x]

And it's not a homeless life for me Yeah...mm..oh.

Little Bird lyrics - Ed Sheeran

If we take this bird in

With its broken leg

We could nurse it

She said

Come inside

For a little lie down with me

If you fall asleep

It wouldn’t be the worst thing

But when I wake up

Your make-up is on my shoulder

And tell me, if I lie down

Would you stay now

And let me hold you?

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

And I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird

If we take a walk out

In the morning dew

We could lay down

So I’m next to you

Come inside

For a little home-made tea

If you fall asleep

Then at least you’re next to me

And if I wake up

You see, it’s late, love

Go back to sleep

I’m covered by nature

And I’m safe now

Underneath this oak tree

With you beside me

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

And I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird

My little bird

My little bird

And of all these things

I’m sure of

I’m not quite certain

Of your love

And you made me scream

But then I made you cry

When I left that little bird

With its broken leg to die

But if I kissed you

Will your mouth read this truth?

Darling, how I miss you

Strawberries taste how lips do

And it’s not complete yet

Mustn’t get our feet wet

'Cause that leads to regret

Diving in too soon

But I’ll owe it all to you

My little bird

My little bird whoa oh oh

My little bird

My little bird

You’re my little bird
