The City

Edd Sheran

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
 And this tower is alive
 The lights that blind keep me awake
 Hood up and lace untied
 The sleep fills my mind
 Can'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
 I'm blazing on the street
 What I do isn't up to you
 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
 Fills 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, 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
 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
