One lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Tell me that you turned down the man

Who asks for your hand

'Cause you're waiting for me

And I know, you're gonna be away a while

But I've got no plans at all to leave

And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

[Regular version:] Just promise me, you'll never leave again

[Acoustic version:] Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

Take my hand and my

Heart and soul, I will

Only have these eyes for you

And you know, everything changes, but

We'll be strangers if we see this through

You could stay within these walls and bleed or just stay with me

Oh, Lord, now

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

Stumbling half drunk, getting myself lost

I am so gone, so tell me the way home

I listen to sad songs, singing about love

And where it goes wrong

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

I'm A Mess lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Oh I'm a mess right now

Inside out

Searching for a sweet surrender

But this is not the end

I can't work it out

How going through the motions

Going through us

And oh I've known it for the longest time

And all of my hopes

All of my own words

Are all over written on the signs

But you're on my road

Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love

Easy baby maybe I'm a liar

But for tonight I wanna' fall in love

Put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time

Late last night

Drinking to suppress devotion

With fingers intertwined

I can't shake this feeling now

We're going through the motions

Hoping you'd stop

And ohhh I've only caused you pain

I know but all of my words will always below

Of all the love you spoke

When you're on my road

Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love

Easy baby maybe I'm a liar

But for tonight I wanna' fall in love

Put your faith in my stomach

And for how long, I love, my lover

For how long I love my lover

And now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover (and I feel loved)

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

I feel it all over now, now and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now, now, for how long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Sing lyrics - Ed Sheeran

It's late in the evening

Glass on the side

I've been sat with you

For most of the night

Ignoring everybody here

We wish they would disappear

So maybe we could get down now

I don't wanna know

If you're getting ahead of the program

I want you to be mine, lady

To hold your body close

Take another step into the no-man's land

For the longest time lady

I need you darling

Come on set the tone

If you feel you're falling

Won't you let me know

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

If you love me

Come on, get involved

Feel it rushing through you

From your head to toe

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

Sing!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Louder!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sing!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

This love is a blaze

I saw flames from the side of the stage

And the fire brigade comes in a couple of days

Until then we got nothing to say and nothing to know

But something to drink and maybe something to smoke

Let it go until our roads are changed

Singing we found love in a local rave

No, I don't really know what I'm supposed to say

But I can just figure it out and hope and pray

I told her my name and said, "It's nice to meet ya."

Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila.

I already know she's a keeper

Just from this one small act of kindness,

I'm in deep shit if anybody finds out

I'm meant to drive home but I've drunk all of it now, not

Sobering up we just sit on the couch

One thing led to another

Now she's kissing my mouth

I need you darling

Come on set the tone

If you feel you're falling

Won't you let me know

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

If you love me

Come on, get involved

Feel it rushing through you

From your head to toe

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Sing!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Louder!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sing!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Can you feel it? All the guys in here don't even wanna dance

Can you feel it? All that I can hear is music from the back

Can you feel it? Found you hiding here so won't you take my hand darling

Before the beat kicks in again

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Sing!

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x7])

I need you darling

Come on set the tone

If you feel you're falling

Won't you let me know

Louder!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Sing!

If you love me come on get involved

Feel it rushing through you from your head to toe

Louder!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Sing!

Don't lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Ah lahmlahlah

Ah lahmlahlah

I met this girl late last year

She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear."

I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait

But then I jump right in

A week later returned

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn

But I gave her my time for two or three nights

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend.

Maybe you could swing by my room around 10:00.

Baby, bring a lemon and a bottle of gin.

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM.

Baby, if you wanted me then you should've just said."

She's singing

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't fuck with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't fuck with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her

We drink away the days with a take-away pizza

Before a text message was the only way to reach her

Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha

All over the track like a feature

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either

But me and her we make money the same way

Four cities, two planes the same day

And those shows have never been what it's about

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch

But we should get on a plane

Or we'll be missing it now

Wish I'd have written it down

The way that things played out

When she was kissing him

How I was confused about

Now she should figure it out while I'm sat here singing

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't fuck with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't fuck with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

[Knock knock knock] on my hotel door

I don't even know if she knows what for

She was crying on my shoulder

I already told ya

Trust and respect is what we do this for

I never intended to be next

But you didn't need to take him to bed that's all

And I never saw him as a threat

Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course

It's not like we were both on tour

We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment

But it was never just fun and I thought you were different

This is not the way you realize what you wanted

It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest

And all this time God knows I'm singing

Ah lahmlahlah

[2x:]

Don't fuck with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't fuck with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Nina lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I met you when I was a teen

But then you were one as well

And I could play a guitar

Just like ringing a bell

Sometimes I wonder

In any other summer

Could you have been my part-time lover to me

Listening to Stevie Wonder

Under the covers where we used to lay

And Re: Stacks is what the speakers played

I'd be on tour almost every day

When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay

Just watching a DVD, smoking illegal weed

Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe

We used each other's air just for the people to see

And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep

We'd go anywhere our minds would take us

And I'll say you are beautiful without your make-up

And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause

We can all be loved the way that God made us

And time's the only reason that we could break up

'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much

Distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane or make a mistake

So say it again

Oh Nina, you should go Nina

'Cause I ain't ever coming home Nina

Oh won't you leave me now

And I've been livin' on the road Nina

But then again you should know Nina

'Cause that's you and me both Nina

Oh won't you leave me now, now

And every weekend in the winter you'd be wearing my hoodie

With drawstrings pulled tight to keep your face from the cold

Taking day trips to the local where we'd eat on our own

'Cause every day when I was away we'd only speak on the phone

Watching Blue Planet, creating new habits

Acting as if we were two rabbits

And then you'd vanish

Back to the borough with all the Celtics

I disappear, you call me selfish

I understand but I can't help it

I put my job over everything except my family and friends

But you'll be in between forever so I guess we'll have to take a step back

Overlook the situation 'cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications

And I'm not saying we should be taking a break

Just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late

So we can either deal with the pain or wait to get on a plane

But in a day we'll have to say it again

Oh Nina, you should go Nina

'Cause I ain't ever coming home Nina

Oh won't you leave me now

And I've been livin' on the road Nina

But then again you should know Nina

'Cause that's you and me both Nina

Oh won't you leave me now, now

Love will come and love will go

But you can make it on your own

Sing that song

Go oh won't you leave me now

People grow and fall apart

But you can mend your broken heart

Take it back go oh won't you leave me now

[2x]

Oh Nina, you should go Nina

(Love will come and love will go)

Cause I ain't ever coming home Nina

(But you can make it on your own)

Oh won't you leave me now

(Sing that song, go oh won't you leave me now)

And I've been livin' on the road Nina

(People grow and fall apart)

But then again you should know Nina

(But you can mend your broken heart)

Cause that's you and me both Nina

(Take it back, go oh won't you leave me now)

Oh won't you leave me now now

Photograph lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Loving can hurt

Loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer

'Til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal

Loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know (know)

I swear it will get easier

Remember that with every piece of ya

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts were never broken

Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer

'Til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me

That's OK, baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Oh you can fit me

Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen

Next to your heartbeat

Where I should be

Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me

Well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go

When I'm away

I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost

Back on 6th street

Hearing you whisper through the phone

"Wait for me to come home"

Bloodstream lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I've been spinning now for time

Couple women by my side

I got sinning on my mind

Sipping on red wine

I've been sitting here for ages

Ripping out the pages

How'd I get so faded?

How'd I get so faded?

Oh, no, no, don't leave me alone lonely now

If you loved me how'd you never learn?

Oh, coloured crimson in my eyes

One or two could free my mind

This is how it ends

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

Fading out again

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

So tell me when it kicks in

Well, tell me when it kicks in

I've been looking for a lover

Thought I'd find her in a bottle

God, make me another one

I'll be feeling this tomorrow

Lord, forgive me for the things I've done

I was never meant to hurt no one

I saw scars upon a broken-hearted lover

Oh, no, no, don't leave me alone lonely now

If you loved me how'd you never learn?

Oh, coloured crimson in my eyes

One or two could free my mind

This is how it ends

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

Fading out again

I feel the chemicals burn in my bloodstream

So tell me when it kicks in

Well, tell me when it kicks in

Well, tell me when it kicks in

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind

Calling out across the line

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (and I saw scars upon her)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (brokenhearted)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (and I saw scars upon her)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (brokenhearted)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (and I saw scars upon her)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (brokenhearted)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (and I saw scars upon her)

All the voices in my mind (tell me when it kicks in)

Calling out across the line (brokenhearted)

So tell me when it kicks in

And I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Brokenhearted

Tell me when it kicks in

And I saw scars upon her

Tell me when it kicks in

Brokenhearted

Tenerife Sea lyrics - Ed Sheeran

You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much

You got the kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love

You look so beautiful in this light

Your silhouette over me

The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

Is the Tenerife Sea

And all of the voices surrounding us here

They just fade out when you take a breath

Just say the word and I will disappear

Into the wilderness

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love

Lumière, darling

Lumière over me

Lumière, darling

Lumière over me

Lumière, darling

Lumière over me

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, love, love, love

So in love

You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

And in a moment I knew you, Beth

Runaway lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I've known it for a long time

Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine

Disappearing all night

I don't wanna know where he's been lying

I know what I wanna do

Wanna run away, run away with you

Gonna grab clothes, six in the morning go

How long you leaving?

Well, dad, just don't expect me back this evening

Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this

It's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

I love him from my skin to my bones

But I don't wanna live in his home

There's nothing to say 'cause he knows

I'll just run away and be on my own

I've never seen my dad cry

Cold as stone in the kitchen light

I'll tell you it's about time

But I was raised to keep quiet

This is what I'm gonna do

Gonna run away, gonna make that move

Gonna grab clothes and when it's morning go

How long you leaving?

Well, dad, just don't expect me back this evening

Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this

It's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

I love him from my skin to my bones

But I don't wanna live in his home

There's nothing to say 'cause he knows

I'll just run away and be on my own

Backpack and a flat cap turned to the back

As I packed my clothes up

My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love

I don't wanna live this way

Gonna take my things and go

If things change in a matter of days

I could be persuaded to hold on

Mama was the same

None of us are saints I guess that God knows that

I don't wanna run away

And one of these days I might just show that

Put my home in a suitcase

Tie both shoe laces and hope that

Things change, but for now I'll leave town with a backpack on my shoulder

I love him from my skin to my bones

But I don't wanna live in his home

There's nothing to say 'cause he knows

I'll just run away and be on my own

The Man lyrics - Ed Sheeran

No, I don't wanna hate you

Just wish you'd never gone for the man

And waited two weeks at least

Before you let him take you

I stayed true

I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school

He's waiting for the time to move

I knew he had his eyes on you

He's not the right guy for you

Don't hate me cause I write the truth

No I would never lie to you

But it was never fine to lose you

And what a way to find out

It never came from my mouth

You never changed your mind

But you were just afraid to mind out

But fuck it, I won't be changing the subject I love it

I'll make your little secret public it's nothing

I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at me

Trapped and I'm lacking sleep

Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually

You're practically my family

If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be

But tragically our love just lost the will to live

But would I kill to give it one more shot

I think not

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore

Recently I tend to zone out

Up in my headphones to Holocene

You promised your body but I'm away so much

I stay more celibate than in a monastery

I'm not cut out for life on the road

Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much

And at the time we'd just go, so sue me

I guess I'm not the man that you need

Ever since you went to uni

I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack

Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad

But when I broke the industry

That's when I broke your heart

I was supposed to chart and celebrate

But good things are over fast

I know it's hard to deal with and see this

I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features

Then I turn the music off

And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus

I never really want to believe this

Got advice from my dad and he

Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need

I guess I'm unaware of it

Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore

And since you left

I've given up my days off

It's what I need to stay strong

I know you have a day job

But mine is 24/7

I feel like writing a book

I guess I lied in the hook

Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could

The irony is if my career and music didn't exist

In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid

I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink

And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's

Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill

And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27

I'll die from a thrill

Go down in history as just a wasted talent

Can I face the challenge

Or did I make a mistake erasing?

It's only therapy

My thoughts just get ahead of me

Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be

Either way I guess I'm not prepared

But I'll say this

These things happen for a reason and you can't change shit

Take my apology

I'm sorry for the honesty

But I had to get this off my chest

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore

Thinking Out Loud lyrics - Ed Sheeran

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm...)

I know you will still love me the same

'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen

And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

Thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are (oh, oh)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, lo-ud

So, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

But maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are

Afire Love lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Things were all good yesterday

And then the devil took your memory

And if you fell to your death today

I hope that heaven is your resting place

I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

But then that could have been the medicine

And now you're lying in the bed again

Either way I'll cry with the rest of them

My father told me, son

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

You're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say

He used to sing

Darlin' hold me in your arms

The way you did last night

And we'll lie inside

For a little while here oh

I could look into your eyes

Until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light and life and love

Put your open lips on mine

And slowly let them shut

For they're designed to be together oh

With your body next to mine

Our hearts will beat as one

And we set alight

We're afire love

Love, love

Things were all good yesterday

Then the devil took your breath away

Now we're left here in the pain

Black suit black tie standing in the rain

And now my family is one again

Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen

Six years old I remember when

My father told me, son

It's not his fault he doesn't know your face

You're not the only one

Although my grandma used to say

He used to sing

Darlin' hold me in your arms

The way you did last night

And we'll lie inside

For a little while here oh

I could look into your eyes

Until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light and life and love

Put your open lips on mine

And slowly let them shut

For they're designed to be together oh

With your body next to mine

Our hearts will beat as one

And we're set alight

We're afire love

Love, love

See the love, the love, the love, the love [3x]

My father and all of my family

Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah

And my mother and all of my family

Rise from their seats to say hallelujah

And my brother and all of my family

Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah

(To my brother and my sister, yeah, ah)

My father and all of my family

Rise from their seats to sing

Hallelujah

To the love, the love, the love, the love [3x]

Take It Back lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I'm not a rapper I'm a singer with a flow

I've got a habit for spitting quicker lyrics you know

You'll find me ripping the written out of the pages they sit in

I never want to get bitten

'Cause plagiarism is hidden

Watch how I sit on the rhythm

Prisoner with a vision

Signs of a label

But didn't listen to any criticism

Thought you knew but you didn't

So perk your ears up and listen

Studio is a system

And you could say that I'm driven

And now it's onto the next saga

We drink the best lager

I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather

I do my own thing now

And get respect after

And I'm avoiding the 'caine

Like it was Get Carter

For four years I never had a place to stay

But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded

Like a paper weight

At 16 years old yeah I moved out of my home

I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked

Went from sleeping at a subway station

To sleeping with a movie star

And adding to the population

Not my imagination

I don't wanna relax

Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?

I take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back, love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back, love

No

I take it back with the rhythm and blues

With my rap pack I'll be singing the news

Tryna act like Jack Black

When I bring it to school

I make a beat with my feet

By just hittin' the loop

Bringing the lyrics to prove

That I can fit in these shoes

I give you the truth through the vocal booth

And stars burst out on the scene

Like an opal fruit

They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot

But then again that's what they're supposed to do

And I'm supposed to be calm

I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm

Whispering everything that happens

Is from now on

I'll be ready to start again

By the end of the song

This is like claiming I handled it wrong

But then I've never had an enemy

Except the NME but I'll be selling

Twice as many copies as their magazines'll ever be

With only spectacles ahead of me

And festival fees are healthier than a Dalmatian on Pedigree

Singing for the masses rubber dingied rapids

I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic

I'm battling for respect and I don't know if I have it

This song's from the heart cover the planet

I take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back, love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back, love

No

And take it back now

Now I don't ever wanna be perfect

'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless

And I accept the fact that someone's got to win worst dressed

Taking my first steps into the scene giving me focus

Putting on a brave face like Timothy Dalton

Considering a name change thinking it was hopeless

Rhyming over recordings, avoiding tradition

'Cause every day some lyrics and a melody could be written

Now absence can make your heart ache

But drinking absinthe can change your mind state

Vividly need to let my liver be

And I'll say it again living life on the edge with a close handful of friends

Is good advice from the man that took his life on the road with me

And I hope to see him blowing up globally

'Cause that's how it's supposed to be

I'm screaming out vocally

It might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams

But, but I just write schemes

I'm never having a stylist giving me tight jeans

Madison Square Garden is where I might be

But more likely

You find me

In the back room of a dive bar with my mates

Having a pint with McDaid

Discussing records we made

And every single second knowing

That we'll never betray

The way we were raised

Remembering our background

Sat down,

That's how we plan it out

It's time to take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back, love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back, love

No

Mmm come on and take it back, love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back, love

No

[Album version stops here]

My dreams keep me awake at night

Written in rhymes, 'til I deliver the hype

Am I just living the lie

With this you must know that the number's just sold whoa

Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me

We forget 90 per cent of it when we wake

But the other 10 per cent it never fades

Dreaming dreams, day to day goals

Stay awake loads, try to make the cut like the

Paper or razor blade, oh, never give up

And just remember just to hold out more

A couple years ago

I couldn't just control that thought

You'd find me buskin' on the street

When it was cold outdoors

And now I'm sweating on the stage of a sold out tour

Writing love songs for the sake of it

Never to make a hit

You can't fake talent and work ethic just to make it quick

I'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and

Most of these other guys are kids that Pulses

Little sister has to babysit, that's just the way it is

Dreams you own, just set your goals

And have the utmost faith in it; tread your own path

You'll never make it as a follower, you'll never know

Where you will go or where you will be tomorrow rha.

Shirtsleeves lyrics - Ed Sheeran

I can taste salt water

And if I blink again

You'll be sinking in

So we'll learn to swim in the oceans you made

I'll hold ya and you'll think of him

And pretty soon you'll be floating away

And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of

Anchored down in the throat, love

And I'm captain of this sinking boat now

With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won't dry

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

Your eyes [5x]

I still taste salt water

On my lips from your kiss, bitterness

And I'll drown within the oceans you made

And I hate to love you, these cuffs are covered in your make up

I'll never trust you again

You can just be a friend

And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of

Anchored down in the throat, love

And I'm captain of this sinking boat now

With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won't dry

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

Your eyes, your lips, your mouth

Your thighs, your back, you drive me wild

Tonight, the fact is I...

I'm on the way home

I'm on the way home

I lied, I tried to cry but I'm

I'm drowning in the oceans you made

When salted tears won't dry

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I'll wipe my shirtsleeves

Under your eyes

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Even My Dad Does Sometimes lyrics - Ed Sheeran

It's alright to cry

Even my dad does sometimes

So don't wipe your eyes

Tears remind you you're alive

It's alright to die

'Cause death's the only thing you haven't tried

But just for tonight

Hold on

So live life like you're giving up

'Cause you act like you are

Go ahead and just live it up

Go on and tear me apart

It's alright to shake

Even my hand does sometimes

So inside we rage

Against the dying of the light

It's alright to say

That death's the only thing you haven't tried

But just for today

Hold on

So live life like you're giving up

'Cause you act like you are

Go ahead and just live it up

Go on and tear me apart

Hold on

Live life like you're giving up

'Cause you act like you are

Go ahead and just live it up

Go on and tear me apart

And hold on

I See Fire lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below

Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke

Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh

Stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

And if we should die tonight

Then we should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh

Prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall

Then surely I'll do the same

Confined in mountain halls

We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh

Hold fast and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning

I will cover my eyes

For if the dark returns

Then my brothers will die

And as the sky is falling down

It crashed into this lonely town

And with that shadow upon the ground

I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire

Inside the mountains

I see fire

Burning the trees

I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)

And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)

And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)

And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

All Of The Stars lyrics - Ed Sheeran

It's just another night

And I'm staring at the moon

I saw a shooting star

And thought of you

I sang a lullaby

By the waterside and knew

If you were here

I'd sing to you

You're on the other side

As the skyline splits in two

Miles away from seeing you

But I can see the stars from America

I wonder, do you see them too?

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

I can hear your heart

On the radio beat

They're playing 'Chasing Cars'

And I thought of us

Back to the time

You were lying next to me

I looked across and fell in love

So I took your hand

Back through lamp-lit streets and knew

Everything led back to you

So can you see the stars over Amsterdam?

Hear the song my heart is beating to?

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

And, oh, I know

And oh, I know, oh

And I know oh oh oh

I can see the stars from America

English Rose lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Across the sea

By the Tennessee skyline

They told me I'd find my

Hopes and my dreams

But I long to be

In the bed of my true love

Back where I came from

She's waiting for me

So I'll make my way

Through long winding country roads

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

I told my dad

On the phone it's amazing

From the straight to the craziest places I've seen

But I long to be

In the arms of my true love

Like he loves my mother

He understands me

I'll spend my days

Just travelling and playing shows

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

I met a man

In a bar down in Memphis

He told me he went there to follow his dreams

He told me, "Son,

You know, I lost my true love

For the same exact reason

That you crossed the sea."

And I found truth

In people I barely know

But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

Touch And Go lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Waking up, midnight November

And you're still in my bed

It's kinda rough, 'cause since I met ya

There's things we've never said

So if I go for a little while longer

When I'm home we can talk about the pitfalls of the road

If you say go, I would stop everything oh

My heart would play the role now

And act like it's never been broke

Though my soul

Oh, oh, oh, lately I really need to know

How long, how long can we be touch and go

Oh, my soul, oh, oh, oh

How long, how long can we be touch and go

It's not enough to say I want ya

'Cause I'll say anything

I'm holding out to feel without a doubt

I ha... have just been questioning yeah

If I go for a little while longer

When I'm home we can talk about the pitfalls of the road

If you say go, I would stop everything oh

My heart would play the role

And act like it's never been broke

Though my soul

Oh, oh, oh, lately I really need to know

How long, how long can we be touch and go

Oh my soul, oh, oh, oh

How long, how long can we be

All of my bones, they scream I'm right

If you're taking me home to stay the night

Darling my soul would heal

If you say go, I would stop everything oh

My heart would play the role

And act like it's never been broke, though my soul

Lately I really need to know

How long, how long can we be touch and go

Oh my soul, oh, oh, oh

How long, how long can we be touch and go

How long, how long can we be touch and go

How long, how long can we be touch and go

New York lyrics - Ed Sheeran

Ooh, ooh, whoa, oh, oh, oh now now

Five drinks in on Friday night

We only came to dry your eyes

And get you out of your room

Now this bar has closed its doors

I found my hand is holding yours

Do you wanna go home so soon?

Or maybe we should take a ride

Through the night

And sing along to every song

That's on the radio

In the back of a taxi cab in Brooklyn no, no, no

The sun could rise

Burning all the street lamps out at 3 AM

So, DJ, play it again

Until the night turns into morning

You'll be in my arms

And we'll just keep driving

Along the boulevard

And if I kissed you, darling

Please don't be alarmed

It's just the start of everything

If you want a new love in New York

Yesterday gave me a call

Stressing out about it all

Said the world is moving too fast

And you don't know where to begin

'Cause you've spent a lifetime fitting in

Only to wind up on the other side

By yourself

And every day

Screaming out

To all the people that you used to know

From a window that looks upon Manhattan skyline

It's just the way that life goes

And you hear it in every song you know

So, DJ, play it again

Until the night turns into morning

You'll be in my arms

And we'll just keep driving

Along the boulevard

And if I kissed you, darling

Please don't be alarmed

It's just the start of everything

If you want a new life in New York

And every song that plays

Is just like the day you had

And it's okay to cry

But I'm saying maybe that's a waste of water

You know I'm here for you

In the back of the taxi cab tonight in New York

It's just reached the morning

And you're still in my arms

And we've stopped driving

Down the boulevard

And I just kissed you, darling

I hope you weren't alarmed

It's just the start of everything

That you want: a new love in New York

A new life in New York

Make It Rain lyrics - Ed Sheeran

When the sins of my father

Weigh down in my soul

And the pain of my mother

Will not let me go

Well, I know there can come fire from the sky

To refine the purest of kings

And even though

I know this fire brings me pain

Even so

And just the same

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

All seed needs the water

Before it grows out of the ground

But it just keeps on getting hard

And the hunger more profound

Well, I know there can come tears from the eyes

But they may as well all be in vain

Even though

I know these tears come with pain

Even so

And just the same

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

And the seas are full of water

That stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur

That never reach the poor

And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause

And let lightning be the veins

And fill the sky

With all that they can drop

When it's time

To make a change

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make in rain

Make in rain

Make in rain

Make it rain

Make in rain

Make it rain

Oh, make in rain

Lay It All On Me lyrics - Rudimental (feat. Ed Sheeran)

All alone as you look through the door

Nothing left to see

If it hurts and you can't take no more

Lay it all on me

No you don't have to keep it under lock and key

'Cause I will never let you down

And if you can't escape all your uncertainties

Baby I can show you how

Let my love in, let my love in

Lay your heart on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me

You can lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me

If you're scared when you're out on your own

Just remember me

'Cause I won't let you go it alone

Lay it all on me

No you don't have to keep it under lock and key

'Cause I will never let you down

And if you can't escape all your uncertainties

Baby I can show you how

Let my love in, let my love in

Lay your heart on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me

You can lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me

So if you're hurting babe

Just let your heart be free

You got a friend in me

I'll be your shoulder at anytime you need

Baby I believe

So if you're hurting babe

Just let your heart be free

You got a friend in me

I'll be your shoulder at anytime you need

Baby I believe

You can lay it all on me

Let my love in, let my love in

Lay your heart on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me (lay it all on me)

Lay it all on me (lay it all on me)

Lay it all on me

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me (lay it all on me)

Lay it all, lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

Lay it all, lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

Lay it all, lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

Lay it all, lay it all on me

Lay it all on me

London Bridge lyrics - Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf

[Verse 1: Yelawolf]

There wasn't much left

Except for the last twenty sack

And the last twenty of my last cheque

I took a pill and went to sleep on the last step

Woke up and took it in with a half breath

Then a deep sigh, I struck a matchstick

I lit my cigarette

Feeling half dead, whisky on my mind

Then came the dead

Sherrif in the yard, here comes the rest

I sat like a ghost, they all passed by

My girl cried baby this'll be my last bye

Baby in her arms

She took a cab home

She told me I was only good for a sad song

A crooked smile I gave

Nonchalant about it

Maybe she'll come back

This time I doubt it

Act like I care, but I really don't

Wanted to change

But somehow I knew I really won't

See I'm the type of man, who can't stay out the bottle

If the sun is out I'd rather be in the shadow

Sadness is like a wound that I can't heal

Maybe I'll love blood, I just let it spill

And I never turned to church for a pray in hand

God's not going to land another saving hand

If the time came like it has time again

Then I would watch the clock and be late again

One gun and a harley in the driveway

One way out, dirt road, pathway

Put another dead butt in the ash tray

I stand up still drunk, half baked

Cover my eyes from the bright morning sun blaring

And through the fence I can see this little boy staring

Paid him no attention

In fact I barely seen him

Until he walked away

And he started singing...

[Hook: Ed Sheeran]

London Bridge is falling down, falling down

And if it don't stop falling, then all of us will drown

Then we'll crash, crash, right down again

Oh we'll crash, crash, right down again

[Verse 2: Yelawolf]

I didn't see it coming

I didn't see the wall

And I went from running, to a slow crawl

I feel like I'm a child, but I'm afraid to cry

Would say I'm okay but I'm afraid to lie

I speak no evil, but hear no angels

A family is callin' but all I see is strangers

Take the bible from the hotel drawer

Hell froze over ice cold hell's door

Knock knock

I'm on the salt road non stop

The exit I will pass 'cause the sign did rot

And the gust of a dry summer

Dirty water in the tap

I think I found my number in the sand

Right next to an empty can

Old number seven, Jack is back again

And the voice goes round and round

And I would take the bridge

But I can't forget the sound

[Hook: Ed Sheeran]

London Bridge is falling down, falling down

And if it don't stop falling, then all of us will drown

Then we'll crash, crash, right down again

Oh we'll crash, crash, right down again

[Verse 3/Outro: Ed Sheeran]

I'll be coming up when the sun goes down

Rolling like a rock 'til I hit the ground

Running from the law but I can't be found

Only my God can track me down

[x4]

And we'll crash, crash, right down again

Oh we'll crash, crash, right down again

I'll be coming up when the sun goes down

Rolling like a rock 'til I hit the ground

Running from the law but I can't be found

Only my God can track me down

[x2]

I'll be coming up when the sun goes down

You Don't Know (For Fuck's Sake) lyrics - Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf

[Yelawolf:]

For fuck's sake, yeah

Yelawolf, Melody Man

[Ed Sheeran:]

Living the life of a student, yeah, I begin on a high

Losing my mind and they say that I've been winning for time

Never been to a gun fight and never needed a knife

But then I make the cut whenever delivering lines

Sit on the side with a rhyme pad with a ten in my sights

Sipping a lemon and lime Corona only with my best friends

'Cause I've hidden my pride, giving the time

To write rhymes but I find truth at a quarter to five

Hey

[Yelawolf:]

It's kinda like I took a train to the left side of my brain, oh, mayne

Puddles of mud, under my love, you know I'm stepping in my own lane

All of these speakers sitting behind me

But what psychology, psychologically insane

Pardon me while I get down, down, down

Making you get up and say

[Ed Sheeran:]

If you don't know

If you don't know by now, you better tell him 'bout it

What you gonna tell him 'bout? Yeah

Yeah

[Yelawolf:]

Ten toes to the dirt, pencil to the paper

God has a favor for your thirst

Drink, drink a pint bye-bye

To this bullshit praise Allah

To the wheels, I'm a ridah, steel ring, no Prada

Only thrift clothes and my ada-di-das

I'm a fetus in my room, say na na

Daddy's home, on the mic, hey papa

[Ed Sheeran:]

Back with a bang yo, straight loop pedal, no band though

But every single one of my fans know

That every damn show I'm taking their ears on a journey

Like I'm flying overseas with Van Gogh

Livin' so sweet without Gretel and Hansel

Critics hate the lyrics 'cause they think I've been tangoed

Find me wearing old clothes, rocking a Kangol

I'm riding 'round with Yelawolf in your daddy's Lambo

[Yelawolf:]

Hello me, how ya been?

You got a mullet again like when you was 10

You're probably sipping sweet tea still, huh?

And your piggy bank is full of change

That what you used to steal from

You been playing fools like a steel drum

Pulling out early, and they still come

Eating from the game when you know the meal's done

Yelawolf is gettin' back at these pilgrims

Hold up baby, sit still, son, woah

This old rock, the hill's been rolled

Still shocking when I see 'em go

Bananas, when they handle this animalistic flow

[Ed Sheeran:]

If you don't know

If you don't know by now, you better tell him 'bout it

What you gonna tell him 'bout? Yeah

Yeah

[Yelawolf:]

I'm not the average half-a-wit after this hour gets out of this

60 seconds, I'm goin' any direction and

Chasing this Jack with a shot of Budweiser and water

Is probably the better idea, yeah, you move when the direction in

Fact, it's a part of me to be the looser of cannons

Blow on this fucking mic like a wind 'til college start again

Hooligans, hooligans rule again but really who's a friend?

Jump in this lake of fire, jump right back in the pool again

Knew I'd be new again, a student of you my friend

Marshall Mathers, I'm tossing rappers up at my crew of 10

Minus 4, minus war, you don't want it

Shady Records, I'm already better, fuck it, doggonnit

Dog don't gotta lead, dog's already home, Jack

Dogg I'm a beast, I'm a wolf, bring your dogs back (Woof !)

A melody-man and a melancholy mellow-yellow can

Shhhh, tell 'em how we gonna sell 'em man

[Ed Sheeran & {Yelawolf}:]

Been working hard all week

{So if you wonder if we earned it, well it's not a probably}

So won't you bring that back to me

{And holler when you hear it like all the screams of a Halloween}

I got blisters on my feet

{To walk at night with you, is not the shoes to be borrowing}

So won't you bring that back to me

'{Cause all the soul of my pen is only what all the sorrow brings

If you don't know}

[Ed Sheeran:]

You don't know, if you don't know, if you don't know (no, no, no, no)

If you don't know, if you don't know, if you don't know (no, no, no)

If you don't know, if you don't know, if you don't know (no, no, no, no)

If you don't know, if you don't know, if you don't know (no, no)

Faces lyrics - Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf

[Intro: Ed Sheeran]

Faces change

But this place'll stay the same

And I'll know

When I'll go

[Verse 1: Yelawolf]

Yeah

And I'm pickin' up another bag

And I pack another knapsack

The airport's like a stop light to me

Sittin' on red, green light go

Can't see my family

My family grew into a global trance

Or fans, some may call 'em

And it's on the stage I stand

To jam Roxy, no wakin' up to stop the dream

I lived the life, signed a picture

'Cuz no dam could stop the stream

Or flood gates, I'm in the fuck trades

And a pocket fulla culture condoms

They put you on the podium for first place

But on the block, they judge you on 'em

So

Who got the South in a six pack, and a shotgun just for show?

I'll put the white boys back in gold teeth

Put the hood in mossy oak

I'm the

Child of a deadbeat, so I gotta give the beat some life

Beat me down with criticism, but at least the critic's write

With a broken pen, there they go again

I'm a token man, I'm a rollin jam

Like a rollin' stone, I'm closin in

I'm goin home, I'm home again

Bring it back up in the UK

With a Dixie flag and a sixteen pack

Catfish Billy, hell, you say

I'm just bein' blunt, homie

Keep the grass

[Hook: Ed Sheeran]

You changed me

Into what I am now

You made me

It was something I was always gonna be

It seems these broken dreams don't lie

And so now my broken wings will fly

[Verse 2: Yelawolf]

Yeah, take one look

Better yet, take two

But if I take that break, there's a move you made

This dude you shape will come take you back

Back to the roots I've been

Without a fuckin' pot to pee in

Or a spot to sleep in

Hot or cold outside, it's not the season

Cuz I am not the reason

That the image you're used to seein'

Is usually being fake, so to me the hate is meaningless

Meaning yes, I'm different

Differently made

And me screamin' the A

Is not the difference in grades

It's the place I stayed

Cuz the schools were underpaid

The teachers taught, but to me they fought

A star that was underway

It was under Wayne, it was in my name

Michael

M.W.A

Atha

And in trouble I stayed

Breakin out of this bubble they made

Played with the dice, but I rolled that seven

And I'll go back to heaven in a Chevrolet

Fuck the world with a tattooed hand

Committed to the words I say

A blood line's not a family tree

It's a needle in my skin for all to see

I ain't never got a spring break tattoo drunk

But I drink and take the ink

[Hook: Ed Sheeran]

You changed me

Into what I am now

You made me

It was something I was always gonna be

It seems these broken dreams don't lie

And so now my broken wings will fly

Tone lyrics - Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf

[Yelawolf:]

Yeah, Slumdon Bridge

Mr. Red, Catfish

Back me up

Let's go

I'm out to bark again, ball cracked on the target, demolish it

Don't jump, I just see, nah, took a swattin', then

Think while I jump back on the beat, like I need audiences

To speak too like a leech, needs to retrieve blood

Should I creep into these ambient sounds with the speech? Obvious

Witness the retardedness with cerebral palsy, that's several pauses

You might need a coffin with holes on the top of these tubes to receive oxygen

You buried alive like a freak, six feet

Clawing and snatching and clawin' like a cat

And a dog and a rat

And a hog in a pen

With a frog and all there is to eat

Is frog and they

Beat each to a pulp with nails, teeth and jaws and then

They fight to the death for at least a piece off of them

See that you back to bars again, he's all asleep in coffin, man

I'm all, they all that's been, ever was at the start of it

You mention the squad and then

You mention the god of pens

Not of it, but I'm harder then

Flesh I'm harder than titanium brass plates that are polished in

Sticking emcees off like a fly trap, or a bobby pin

When I rap I'm astonishing

I attack tracks like a train track strapped to a bomb and send

Shockwave's that's what I made, got this bastard popping then

I spit on my pop's grave without apologin'

Take shits on shih tzus

Pisses on igloos

Throw it up to the whole fucking world, it's sick too

Vomitin' stomach fluid like you just ate shit stew

Did I say shit again? Do I give a shit, dude?

Neither does little Johnny give a shit if he sniffs glue

Or Beethoven care of you like his hair or the stick used

To orchestrate or does a porpoise hate when you dip through

Swimming in this ocean no, he just moves

What I'm trying to say is, it's my motherfucking ocean

And I crossed it

Built a bridge, the Slumdon Bridge, holla!

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
