Ed Sheeran - These Dreams Lyrics






I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you amongst the other things
My mother seems to never see the bruises that I'm covering,

Never been known as my government name,
My foster home is where I've been placed away from the pain,
And now you sit before me with a folder holding my story, you're my savior with nothing on me but power and glory,

And surely you'll never ignore me, 'cause when the the call came
The court date was made to disappear for me,
You think you understand me but never what I went through
But you were never meant to I won't hold it against you,

I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,
Forget me not never let me stop
You'll just sit and watch it's your job to be patient so you'll let me off,

So come with me take a walk on the wild side,
See life in a day through a child's eyes,
And these dreams are all I have to hold me,
When sleep's the only thing that I want to take me away, away,

Okay, session's over time to get back to the classroom,
I hate this lesson and I guess the teacher finds it hard too,
You told me I should try my best but guess what?
I still find this trigonometry a head fuck,

Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's,
I'll end up in Micky D's serving burgers and cheese,
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it,
Mistakes make a change if you put a line through 'em,

Lately classmates think I'm crazy, turn up daily resembling Bill Bailey,
And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it
Without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes
But they'll get taken off me when I get back to the group home,

So come with me take a walk on the wild side
See life in a day through a child's eyes,
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
When sleep's the only thing that I want to take me away, away.

    This is so hard to listen to when you understand exactly what it means to go through it. I love it but it hurts.

  42. s.... ....

    OMFG, this is the most amazing song ever!!!! The most understanding true song these days. If this isnt on his next album im legit gonna cry!!!! <3

  43. S.... R....

    They're irrelevant.

  44. B.... B....

    "rethemblin' Bill Bailey" heh aww Ed <3

  45. A.... B....

    this is amazing.

  46. s.... ....

    WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS ITS AMAZING EDS AMAZING UGH

  47. c.... p....

    I swear I can hear someone say "shity" on 1:55.

  48. E.... G....

    As much as I love this it sounds like it's another extension of 'You Need Me'. He already does an extended version of 'You Need Me' in studio, this just seems like it should go in with it. With that being said, if I'm wrong and this is a stand alone piece, this is fantastic, just like all of his work. Forgive me but I'm not a fan of the songs where rappers do the verses and he sings the chorus. I listen to Ed for Ed, not for JME or other rappers.

  49. h.... t....

    this is so sad

  50. c.... p....

    why is this song not in an album right now!

  51. k.... b....

    I. Love. This. Song. Nothing more needs to be said.

  52. T.... ....

    Cant wait for it to get released so i can buy it:)

  53. k.... ....

    amazing!!!

  54. G.... ....

    He says at the end of it that he hadn't finished it yet :) I hope he has already 'cause this is amazing!

  55. R.... R....

    ugh if this is really about his life... asdfghjkl. he never ceases to amaze me.

  56. L.... J....

    Balling

  57. J.... G....

  63. C.... s....
