Lately (Feat. Devlin) – Ed Sheeran – letras

I seem to find myself talking to the powers that beAwaking the shade and shadowed under towering treesAdmiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breatheJet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleepAlthough my bloodshot whites and irises they never find anyClock stops at times where the sun shine can blind manyAlthough my eyes are heavy, they won’t be closing soonCause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it’s trueWe make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal boothsTo see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive movesI say whatever I feel to vent a rhymeSo I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mineCause real recognise real is what my father saysAnd I’ll be sticking to this phrase until I pass awayOverworking, no sleep is just another way to die slowBut I’ll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close5 o’clock with lights off, interview with a vampireSleep is for the living and not a utensil that I requireI swear I said, that I’ll sleep when I’m deadWho’s on the beat upon the feature with Ed?It’s D-E-V to the ZedOver tired, pale faced like Michael MyersBags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I’ve acquiredAnd over the time within this maze I think you’ll find you’llNever find that peace of mind you seek to find until you’re dyingCause I got too much to stay awake forTo sleep, or even take four seconds out the game, it’s time to wage warScissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knivesTwo psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonightI’m hailing from the Essex and the East London border lineVillans never sleep, they mastermind in all sorts of crimesBe wide awake just like you’re snorting linesOr get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking byI never sleepWhen trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for freeIt could beThe times I’m living inI never sleepWhen trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for freeIt could beThe times I’m living in lately[Verse 3: Ed Sheeran]I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouthAnd the background is my past and my presence will bring it back outDeliver the raps how I flow, I live with the rats now and thoseThat hate me call me Ron but they won’t slither in too easyBelieve me I’m snake minded, be within this great time, beOn minimum wage, life is a prison escape that I’m inIt’s all to do with timing not the label that you sign withThen my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time inI try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillowsSome of the songs I write are real because the charts are filled with si-li-coneI’m still broke without the money for a Mac ProLiving out of three bags, no talk about my cash flowOpposite of sober cause I never did my homeworkWhich has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing olderI played a fool to catch the wise, I will never tell a lieI wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die (never die)[Verse 4: Devlin]Two guys with the same view, keep it tight like ScroogeMaking metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunesAnd if we got our eyes on you, we’ll catch you while you snoozeTimes elapsing while you’re catching Zed’s, the masses like to moveWe scan the situation, analyse informationAnd then decide what probably is most practical to doDriven young gentlemen, I’ve hardly changed my bed sheetsAt all over the last 12 months cause I haven’t slept in ’em, trueI’m coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong, so I’m correcting ’emWe got the fans all like, « Oh wow it’s Devs and Ed »What less did you bloody expect from ’em? « In the end sleep deprivation might just be our detrimentFighting through writers block from 9 o’clock to 5 o’clockAnd no way will I ever waste a second of the time I gotI keep my pupils engagedLike a classroom in holy matrimony, but I’m only trying to stay awakeI never sleepWhen trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for freeIt could beThe times I’m living inI never sleepWhen trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for freeIt could beThe times I’m living in lately
