Ed Sheeran - Family Lyrics

Hmm, let me go
To see my family
Please Father let me go
As my mother sleeps

Ooh (life)

I don't know about James Bond but 'round here nobody live twice
When you're gone, you're gone, without no bye
'Cause only a judge can give you life (yeah, yeah)
This is my advice, trust me, I nearly lost my life
Three weeks after I got this ride
Pissed like I had way too much wine (I)
Wished that I didn't get one, anyway
I was going to The Macbeth booked for a set
Even though I didn't have a set one
Skream hit the decks, I was like check one
Put on a show but it weren't my best one
Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destinatio
Then I was off to the next one
Twenty minutes later I was on the M1 (tired)
But I kept on going, fell asleep without even knowing
No emotion in my face, no movement in my legs
But the car still kept going
Woke up, lorry (flash)
Panic, (break), skid, (crash)
Skidded, (more), bang, (smash)
Out, (cold), ribs, (cracked, ouch)
I was in so much pain
Crawled out of a Mégane that now looked like a Mini
When I was still on the first lane
Baffled, didn't even know my name
Fainted, too much shock in my brain
Surrounded by paramedics and feds
Trying to get up but fainted again

See I just want you to take a second, hear me out
Don't think I'm happy 'cause I smile when you see me out
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared
Oh, I'm begging Lord to save me

And let me go
To see my family
And keep it inside
With dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please Father let me go
And keep me safe, as my mother sleeps

Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open
I can hear voices and my phone ringing
Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning
One of the worst situations I've been in
I can hear all of the angels singing (singing)
But when they stopped humming
My brain turned on, stared running
Still in pain but it started numbing,
The stone cold comeback I made was stunning
I still tried to do a few shows
'Cause I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming
But I was left with a permanent problem
Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (side)
Ever so cunning, six weeks later, jogging and running
I used the first aid kit like a drum set
Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming
Trust me, when it comes to mistakes
You can't afford to let one in
Never done tunes for a while, the pipeline was blocked
So I learned and done a bit of plumbing (they)
Say tomorrow never dies, but they forgot to tell you, you can
You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang,
But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam
You can try beg for another
Sometimes I'll be on my way to a show
Thinking, "I just wanna see my brother"
Then do a U-turn, I'm gone, one up

See I just want you to take a second, hear me out
Don't think I'm happy 'cause I smile when you see me out
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared
Oh, I'm begging Lord to save me

And let me go
To see my family
And keep it inside
With dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please Father let me go
And keep me safe, as my mother sleeps

And let me go
To see my family
And keep it inside
With dry eyes, while my brother weeps
Save my soul
Please Father let me go
And keep me safe
