The City Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 This city never sleeps

2 I hear the people walk by when it's late

3 Sirens beat through my windowsill

4 I can't close my eyes

5 Don't control what I'm into

6 And this tower is alive

7 With lights that are blinding me awake

8 Hood up and lace untied

9 The sleep fills my mind

10 Can't control what I'm into

11 London calls me a stranger

12 A traveller

13 This is now my home

14 My home

15 I'm burning on the back street

16 Stuck here, sitting in the back seat

17 I'm blazing on the street

18 What I do isn't up to you

19 If the city never sleeps

20 Then that makes two

21 The pavement is my friend

22 It will take me where I need to go

23 I find it trips me up

24 And puts me down

25 This is not what I'm used to

26 And the shop across the road

27 Fills my needs and gives me company

28 When I need it

29 Voices beat through my walls

30 I don't think I'm gonna make it

31 Past tomorrow

32 London calls me a stranger

33 A traveller

34 This is now my home

35 My home

36 I'm burning on the back street

37 Stuck here, sitting in a back seat

38 I'm blazing on the street

39 What I do isn't up to you

40 If the city never sleeps

41 Then that makes two

42 And my lungs hurt

43 And my ears bled

44 With the sounds of the city life

45 Echoed in my head

46 Do I need this

47 To keep me alive

48 The traffic stops and starts

49 But I need to move alone

50 London calls me a stranger

51 This is not my home

52 Home

53 I'm burning on the back street

54 Stuck here, sitting in a back seat

55 I'm blazing on the street

56 What I do isn't up to you

57 If the city never sleeps

58 Then that makes two
