The City - Ed Sheeran (艾德·希兰)[00:00:00]
Written by:Jake Gosling/Ed Sheeran[00:00:01]
This city never sleeps[00:00:04]
I hear the people walk by when it's late[00:00:08]
Sirens bleed through my windowsill[00:00:12]
I can't close my eyes[00:00:15]
Can't control what I'm into[00:00:16]
This tower is alive[00:00:22]
The lights that blind keep me awake[00:00:26]
With my hood up and lace untied[00:00:30]
Sleep fills my mind[00:00:33]
Can't control what I'm into[00:00:35]
London calls me a stranger[00:00:40]
A traveler[00:00:45]
Oh this is now my home my home[00:00:47]
Oh I'm burning on the back street[00:00:58]
Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat[00:01:02]
Oh I'm blazing on the street[00:01:07]
What I do isn't up to you[00:01:11]
And if the city never sleeps[00:01:13]
Then that makes two[00:01:15]
The pavement is my friend[00:01:17]
And it will take me where I need to go[00:01:21]
I find it trips me up[00:01:25]
And puts me down[00:01:28]
This is not what I'm used to[00:01:30]
The shop across the road[00:01:35]
Fulfills my needs and gives me company[00:01:40]
When I need it[00:01:42]
Voices speak through my walls[00:01:44]
I don't think I'm gonna make it[00:01:46]
Past tomorrow[00:01:48]
London calls me a stranger[00:01:54]
A traveler[00:01:58]
Oh this is now my home my home[00:02:01]
Oh I'm burning on the back street[00:02:10]
Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat[00:02:16]
Oh and I'm blazing on the street[00:02:21]
What I do isn't up to you[00:02:25]
And if the city never sleeps[00:02:27]
Then that makes two[00:02:28]
And my lungs hurt[00:02:31]
And my ears bled[00:02:33]
With the sound of the city life[00:02:35]
Echoed in my head[00:02:37]
Do I need this to keep me alive[00:02:40]
The traffic stops and starts[00:02:44]
But I need to move along[00:02:45]
I'm from a city where the rain won't cease[00:02:51]
Pollution in the air matches that on the street[00:02:53]
Cuase the black smoke gets you head into a muddle like[00:02:55]
Walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like[00:02:58]
I was a country boy when I moved out[00:03:00]
Grew up too fast for my family to find out[00:03:02]
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives[00:03:04]
Can't resort to arrogance with white lies[00:03:06]
This city won't erase me[00:03:09]
But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me[00:03:11]
It's all the same scene music is my life[00:03:14]
But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from[00:03:15]
North South East West London's my home now[00:03:18]
Knees weak we never slow down[00:03:21]
Now I start to do my music properly[00:03:22]
And stay away from all the negative sh*t that will follow me[00:03:24]
London calls me a stranger[00:03:28]
This is not my home now my home[00:03:37]
Oh I'm burning on the back street[00:03:45]
Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat[00:03:50]
Oh I'm blazing on the street[00:03:54]
What I do isn't up to you[00:03:59]
And if the city never sleeps[00:04:01]
Then that makes two[00:04:03]
Oh I'm burning on the back street[00:04:04]
Oh stuck here sitting in the backseat[00:04:09]
Oh I'm blazing on the street[00:04:13]
What I do isn't up to you[00:04:18]
And if the city never sleeps[00:04:20]
Then that makes two[00:04:26]
