01 Ed Sheeran - Eraser

[00:11.12] I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mind

[00:13.39] Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine

[00:16.41] I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride

[00:18.89] The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind

[00:21.64] So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life

[00:24.44] Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride

[00:27.38] And when the world's against me is when I really come alive

[00:30.14] And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride

[00:33.13] You know that I've got whisky with white lines and smoke in my lungs

[00:36.14] I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun

[00:38.89] I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up

[00:41.64] Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become

[00:44.64] I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me

[00:47.14] Without a nine-to-five job or an uni degree

[00:49.93] To be caught up in the trappings of the industry

[00:52.92] Show me the locked doors, I find another use of key

[00:55.88] And you'll see

[00:56.66] I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me

[01:01.88] But with that said give me one more higher

[01:09.90] I am another one to take this thing away

[01:15.13] I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

[01:20.64] Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day

[01:25.90] And I'll find comfort in my pain

[01:28.64] Eraser

[01:29.88] I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs

[01:33.13] I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong

[01:35.88] I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell

[01:38.91] Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well

[01:41.90] And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps

[01:44.40] Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun

[01:47.43] Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run

[01:49.91] I beg you, don't be disappointed with the man I've become

[01:52.64] Our conversations with my father on the A14

[01:55.39] 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

[02:01.18] With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans

[02:03.89] Wembley Stadium crowd's two-hundred-and-forty-thou

[02:06.88] I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud

[02:09.64] And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed

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

[02:15.40] Somehow

[02:16.15] I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me

[02:21.40] But with that said give me one more higher

[02:28.89] I am another one to take this thing away

[02:34.66] I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay

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

[02:45.37] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[02:51.12] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[02:56.87] And I'll find comfort in my pain eraser

[03:02.43] Welcome to the new show

[03:04.41] I guess you know I've been away

[03:07.12] But where I'm heading, who knows

[03:09.38] But my heart will stay the same

[03:12.88] Welcome to the new show

[03:15.38] I guess you know I've been away

[03:18.39] But where I'm heading, who knows

[03:20.64] My pain eraser

[03:24.88] 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
