Ed Sheeran - 01 - Eraser

[00:10.92] I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mind

[00:13.66] Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine

[00:16.17] I forget when I get awards now, the wave I had to ride

[00:18.92] The paving stones I played upon, that kept me on the grind

[00:21.93] So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life

[00:24.67] Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride

[00:27.66] And when the world's against me is when I really come alive

[00:30.17] And every day that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride

[00:33.17] You know that I've got whisky with white lies, and smoke in my lungs

[00:36.42] I think life has got to the point, I know without it's no fun

[00:39.17] I need to get in the right mind, and clear myself up

[00:41.92] Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become

[00:44.67] Guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me

[00:47.42] Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree

[00:50.16] To be caught up in the trappings of the industry

[00:53.17] Show me the locked doors, I'll find another use for the key

[00:55.92] And you'll see

[00:56.69] I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me

[01:02.17] But with that said give me one more

[01:09.91] Another one to take the sting away

[01:14.66] I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

[01:20.66] Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

[01:25.92] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[01:30.17] I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs

[01:33.42] I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong

[01:36.16] I think that money is the root of all evil, and fame is hell

[01:39.41] Relationships, and hearts you fixed, they break as well

[01:42.19] And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps

[01:44.66] Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun

[01:47.67] Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run

[01:50.42] I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become

[01:53.16] Conversations with my father on the A14

[01:55.92] Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams

[01:58.91] Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me

[02:01.67] With my beaten small guitar, wearing the same old jeans

[02:04.42] Wembley Stadium crowd's two-hundred-and-forty-thou'

[02:07.16] I may have grown up, but I hope that Damian's proud

[02:09.91] And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed

[02:12.66] The world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now

[02:15.17] Somehow

[02:16.17] I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me

[02:21.66] But with that said give me one more

[02:29.41] Another one to take the sting away

[02:34.16] Oh, I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

[02:39.91] Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

[02:45.16] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[02:50.67] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[02:56.42] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[03:02.16] Welcome to the new show

[03:04.42] I guess you know I've been away

[03:07.18] But where I'm heading, who knows?

[03:10.16] But my heart will stay the same

[03:12.91] Welcome to the new show

[03:15.66] I guess you know I've been away

[03:18.46] But where I'm heading, who knows?

[03:20.41] My pain eraser

[03:24.66] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[03:29.91] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[03:35.66] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[03:41.16] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser
