Ed Sheeran - The City Lyrics

2020 still hearing 💪🏻

2019 anyone?

I miss the old ed 😕

Nostalgic after no6

Cant unhear it stuck here pissing in the back seat
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

England is my city

his 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

This tower is alive
The lights that blind keep me awake
With my hood up and lace untied
Sleep fills my mind
Don'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
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

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
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

London calls me a stranger
A traveller
This is now 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

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

I'm from a city where the rain won't cease
Pollution in the air matches that on the street
The black smoke gets you 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 scene, 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

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

February 2019 anyone ?

"this is now my hOWOme"

You better stop

This is the worst song I have ever heard

I’ve always loved this song. So underrated.

Underrated

"The City"

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
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

London calls me a stranger
A traveler
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
And if the city never sleeps
Then that makes two

The pavement is my friend
Hey, and 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
Fulfills 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 traveler
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
And 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

I LOVE this song. Ed Sheeran is my favourite artist and this is my favourite song along with the Divide song Supermarket Flowers x

When he says "too" on the end of the chorus he sounds Aussie

his best song, I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Me *gets icecream out of freezer*
Song: do I need this to keep me alive
Me: hmmm...yes

the studio vid is so much better but I still love this song no matter what

UNDERRATED

why is this so underrated??

Gosh, I love this song! <3
Oh, and Ed in general :)

Sooooo many memories :)

My god I'm addicted to that hook....

This is one of the best he's written

SHW1212 The best. Period. Any better ones. I'm waiting.

London calls me a stranger... :( i rebember when i was in London with no money on streets

Undo it Remember wandering through the streets of London listening to this “I don’t think I’m gonna make it past tomorrow”

Live version of this is way better and just fantastic

who heared the other version of this song?

GJ Bartolo here

this is probs one of my fave ed sheeran songs

Agreed!

Yeah man I remember coming across this as an album track, still my fav ed song

I like your user picture of Dan and Phil!

well i guess that this is my favourite song, as i hear it in a permanent loop since i found it in 2013...

When I was maybe 10 or 11 years old, my uncle introduced me to this album and I fell in love with Ed. All we did was listen to it in his car going wherever in the grey skies of uptown Toronto. All these songs bring back memories, man.

the nostalgia is so real rn its unreal :')
