Ed Sheeran - Lately lyrics

rate me

I seem to find myself, talking to the powers that be

Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees

Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes for flowers to breath

Jet-lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep,

Although my blood shot whites and iryses they never find any

Clock stops at time where the sunshine could blind many

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

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

We make a rose of tunes through acid tabs and vocal booths

To see the flashin lights of photo shoots

We make of 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 we will recognize, real is what my father says

So now I'll be sticking to this phrase untill I pass away,

Over workin no sleep is just another way to die slow

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

Five O'clock with the 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 DV to the Zed

Overtired pale face like Michael Myers

Bags underneath my eyes and shoulder baggage I've acquired

And overtime within this maze I think you'll find

You'll never find a peice of mind

You seek to find until you're dyin'

'Cause I've got so much to stay awake for

To sleep or even take 4,

Seconds out the game it's time to wage war

Scissors grab sword, and sharpen up your huntin' knives

Through psycopathic lyricists that driving on the hunt tonight

I'm hailing from the essex and the east London borderline

Villains never sleep the masterminds in all sorts of crime

Be wide awake just like you're snorting lines

Or get left mortified

Like you've just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by

[Chorus]

I never sleep, but trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m living livin' in I never sleep.

The trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m livin' in lately.

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

And the background is my past and my presence

All bringing back out

Deliver the raps how

I flow we'll live with the raps now

And those that hate me call me Ron

But they wont slytherin to easily believe me I'm Snape minded be

Within this great time I'm be on minimum wage

Life is a prison escape that I'm in

It’s all to do with timin' not the label that you sign with,

Than 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 pillow,

Some of the songs I write are real

Because the chart is filled with silo-con

I'm still broke without the money for a mac pro

Livin' out of two bags no tongue about my cash flow

Opposite of sober ‘cause I never did my homework

Which is got me on a sofa no degree but growin' older

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

Await death take deep breaths and try to never die

Two guys with the same view,

Keep the title of Scruge Scrooge.

Makin' metaphors flow and move like typhoons and tunes

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

Times elapsin' while your catching zeds the masses like to move

We scan the situation, analyze information,

And then decide what probably is most practical to do,

Driven young gentlemen, I've hardly changed my bedsheets at all Over the last 12 months ‘cause I’ve haven't slept in 'em (True)

I’m coming home the lights are on your rights are wrong so Im correctin' em

We've got the fans all like

"Oh well its Devz 'n Ed what less did you bloody expect from 'em"

In the end sleep deprivation might just be a detrement

Fightin' through writers block from nine o’clock to five o’clock In no way will I ever waste a second of the time I've got

I keep my pupils enganged, like a classroom in holy *matronomy* matrimony But I'm only trying to stay awake

[Chorus]

I never sleep, but trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m living I never sleep.

The trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m living lately.

I never sleep, but trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m living I never sleep.

The trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free,

It could be, the times I’m living lately.
