nightmares

Singer: sheeran, ed

they tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep

but now i'm working to achieve

but sleep is the only thing i never see

and i vowed that my breathing will never cease

to the retrieve then i can't let them be

i won't let 'em leave and i had the same feeling since 17

but i wasn't ready then like a lemon's green

now i'm in the magazines almost every week

cause i'm getting heat like in tenerife

right now it's better than it's ever been

never fade like a plant that's evergreen

it's what i hoped in my heart

but my self doubts are getting me

faith in my crafts getting dark by the day and i'm getting weak

cause i'm new

i'm not where the stars be. they chase dreams together like a slumber party

and now i'm on my own

even though i'm smooth sailing

i'm scared to sing

cause my nightmares'll fade in. when the darkness creeps in

i feel my nightmares watching me. and when my dreams are sleeping

i feel my nightmares watching me. oh

oh

oh!

i feel my nightmares watching me. you better wake up cause i am making moves

and even when i'm dozing i'm breaking rules

i'm only hitting the sack when i'm training

too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze. made my bed and that's where i'm heading

i fly straight with the best man i embed 'em

married to the game was a quiet wedding

then i had to fight to get her

now i'm taking control of my inception

cause they try to hit my misses with my erection

see they better marry donna cause when i strike

strike

not even argentina's gonna cry for them. see i'm awake at night

with the ammunish

the haters know where the family lives. anyone i catch playing knock down ginger

is gonna lose a lot more

than i need it. they say sleep is the cousin of death

but i hear shit

cousin i am deaf

gang signs i'm a n/a reading. i'm a ceo

man you suckers are next. when the darkness creeps in

i feel my nightmares watching me. and when my dreams are sleeping

i feel my nightmares watching me. oh

oh

oh!

i feel my nightmares watching me. they watching me! they watch me sleep!

let me go!

i fell asleep on sofa

woke up in reality

and daydream about losing my sanity. i've been rhyming forever got a blind flow. so i can see an off note with my eyes closed. but to achieve your dreams you can't doze off cause you dream a sleep

i ain't nodding off but i'm nodding to the beat. i be shocking in my sheets

when i should have been asleep. see

all the dreams i'm fond of

you placed me in the team insomnia

now

i'm mr hard worker

in my nightmares i'm mr can't turn up

and i missed my chance worst luck

trying to hit women like mr ike turner

ch'yeah

but i walked from that ish

now they gotta put me to rest

mattress. when the darkness creeps in

i feel my nightmares watching me. and when my dreams are sleeping

i feel my nightmares watching me. oh

oh

oh!

i feel my nightmares watching me. watching me!
