Ed Sheeran - Family

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

I don't know about days gone
But round here nobody lives twice
When your gone, your gone, without no bye
Because only a judge can give you life
This is my advice
Trust me, I nearly lost my life
3 weeks after I got this rhyme
Pissed like I had way too much wine
Whished 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
Scream 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 destination
Then I was off to the next one
20 minutes later I was on the M1

Tired
But I kept on going
Fell asleep without even knowing
No motion 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 Megan 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

I just want you to take a second, hear me out
Don't think I'm happy cuz 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
Dry ice, while my brother weeps

Save my soul
Please Father let me go
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

But when it 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 cuz 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 (sligh)
Ever so cunning
6 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 dream for a while
The black plan was blocked
So I learnt and done a bit of plumbing
They say tomorrow never dies
But he 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, Runner

See, I just want you to take a second, hear me out
Don't think I'm happy cuz 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
Dry ice, while my brother weeps

Save my soul
Please Father ter me go
Deep me safe
As my mother sleeps
