The City Lyrics - + - Ed Sheeran

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 

Hood up and lace untied 

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 

And the shop across the road 

Fulfils 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 

If the city never sleeps then that makes two
