Ed Sheeran - Eraser

[00:10.75] I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mind

[00:13.25] Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine

[00:16.26] I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride

[00:19.02] The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind

[00:21.78] So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life

[00:24.28] Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride

[00:27.67] And when the world's against me is when I really come alive

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

[00:33.02] You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs

[00:36.28] I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun

[00:39.03] I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up

[00:41.79] Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become

[00:44.80] I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me

[00:47.30] Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree

[00:50.05] To be caught up in the trappings of the industry

[00:53.06] Show me the locked doors, I find another use of key

[00:55.74] And you'll see

[00:56.43] I'm well aware of certain things that will destroy a man like me

[01:02.09] But with that said give me one more, higher

[01:09.85] Another one to take the sting away

[01:14.83] I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

[01:20.34] Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

[01:25.99] And I'll find comfort in my pain

[01:28.72] Eraser

[01:29.92] I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs

[01:33.15] I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong

[01:36.15] I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell

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

[01:42.16] And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps

[01:44.67] Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun

[01:47.42] Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run

[01:50.17] I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become

[01:53.18] Our conversations with my father on the A14

[01:55.93] Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams

[01:58.44] Now I'm playing for the people, dad, and they know me

[02:01.51] With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans

[02:04.51] Wembley Stadium crowd's two-hundred-and-forty-thou

[02:07.20] I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud

[02:09.85] And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed

[02:12.68] The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now

[02:15.55] Somehow

[02:16.10] I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me

[02:21.42] But with that said give me one more, higher

[02:29.38] Another one to take the sting away

[02:34.39] I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

[02:39.90] Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

[02:45.41] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[02:51.18] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[02:56.80] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[03:01.87] Welcome to the new show

[03:04.66] I guess you know I've been away

[03:07.40] But where I'm heading, who knows

[03:09.75] But my heart will stay the same

[03:12.75] Welcome to the new show

[03:15.51] I guess you know I've been away

[03:18.51] But where I'm heading, who knows

[03:20.52] My pain, eraser

[03:24.62] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[03:30.13] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[03:35.64] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

[03:41.14] And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
