family

Singer: ed sheeran

hmm let me go

to see my family. please

father

let me go

as my mother sleeps. life

i don't know about james bond

but 'round here nobody live twice. when you're gone

you're gone

without no bye

'cause only a judge can give you life. this is my advice

trust me

i nearly lost my life. 3 weeks after i got this ride

pissed like i had way too much wine. i wished that i didn't get one

anyway

i was going to the macbeth booked for a set

even though i didn't have a set one. scream hit the decks

i was like check one. put on a show

but it weren't my best one. left it

dropped off blacks at his destination

then i was off to the next one

20 minutes later i was on the m1

tired. but i kept on going

fell asleep without even knowing. no emotion in my face

no movement in my legs

but the car still kept going. woke up

lorry

flash

panic

break

skid

crash

skidded

more

bang

smash

out

cold

ribs

cracked

ouch. i was in so much pain

crawled out of a megane that now looked like a mini

when i was still on the first lane. baffled

didn't even know my name. fainted

too much shock in my brain. surrounded by paramedics and feds

trying to get up but fainted again. see

i just want you to take a second

hear me out. don't think i'm happy 'cause i smile when you see me out. i've had serious madness is where i've nearly disappeared

oh

i'm begging lord to save me and let me go

to see my family

and keep it inside

dry eyes

while my brother weeps. save my soul

please

father

let me go. keep me safe

as my mother sleeps. eyes closed

they just wouldn't open

i can hear voices and my phone ringing. fighting for life

can't tell if i'm winning

one of the worst situations i've been in. i can hear all of the angels singing. but when it stopped humming

my brain turned on

started running. still in pain

but it started numbing

the stone cold comeback i made was stunning. i still tried to do a few shows 'cause i didn't wanna tell them that i weren't coming. but i was left with a permanent problem

nobody knows about the pain that i'm inside. ever so cunning

6 weeks later

jogging and running. i used the first aid kit like a drum set

picked up the tools and i gave it a drumming. trust me

when it comes to mistakes

you can't afford to let one in. never done dream for a while

the pipeline was blocked

so i learnt and done a bit of plumbing. they say tomorrow never dies

but he forgot to tell you you can. you can have a sicker clan than wu-tang

but when your time's up

that's it

it's you fam. you can try beg for another

sometimes i'll be on my way to a show

thinking 'i just wanna see my brother'

then do a u-turn

i'm gone

runner. see

i just want you to take a second

hear me out. don't think i'm happy 'cause i smile when you see me out. i've had serious madness is where i've nearly disappeared. oh

i'm begging lord to save me and let me go

to see my family. and keep it inside

dry eyes

while my brother weeps. save my soul

please

father

let me go. keep me safe. as my mother sleeps

and let me go

to see my family

and keep it inside

dry eyes

while my brother weeps

save my soul

please

father

let me go

and keep me safe
