Ed Sheeran The City Live At Sticky Studios Official Lyrics
VERSE 1:
This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it's late
And 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
My hood up and lace untied
Sleep fills my mind
Don't control what I'm into
Pre-CHORUS:
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home
CHORUS:
I'm burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
VERSE 2:
The pavement is my friend
It will take me where I need to go
So I find it trips me up
And puts me down
This is not what I'm used to
And the shop across the road
Fulills 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
Pre-CHORUS:
And London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home
CHORUS:
Burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
BRIDGE:
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
VERSE 3:
I'm from a city where the rain won't cease
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
The black smoke gets your head into a muddle, like
Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle, like
I was a country boy when I moved out
Grew up too fast for my family to find out
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives
Can't resort to arrogance with white lies
This city won't erase me
But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me
It's all the same see, music is my life, but
Now I try to fight whatever I need to hide from
North, South, East, West, London's my home now
Knees weak, but we never slow down
Now I start to do my music properly
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me
Pre-CHORUS:
And London calls me a stranger
This is not my home, home
CHORUS:
Burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
Burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
And I'm blazing on the street
What I do isn't up to you
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two
