Ed Sheeran Feat. Devlin - Lately Lyrics

Ed Sheeran Feat. Devlin - Lately Lyrics

I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be 
awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees 
admiring the seen, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe. 
jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep 

although my blood shot whites and iris's they never find any 
clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many 
although my eyes are heavy they wont be closing soon 
cos i know that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true 
we make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths 
to see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves 


I say what ever I feel to vent a rhyme 
so i can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine 
cos we all recognise, real is what my father says 
and i'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away 
overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow 
but i'll just keep going strong as ever, never let my eyes close 


5 o'clock with lights off 
interview with a vampire 
sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require 
I swear i said, that i'll sleep when im dead 
whos on the beat upon the feature with Ed its D-E-V to the Z 
over tired, pale faced like Michael Myers 
bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage i've acquired 
and over the time within this maze i'll think you'll find you'll never find that peace of mind you seek to find until your dying 
cuz i got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game 
its time to wage war 
scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives 
2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight 
i'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line 
villans never sleep they mastermind in all sorts of crimes, 
be wide awake just like your snorting lines 
or get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by 


I never sleep 
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh 
the times i'm living in i never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be.. 
the times i'm living in lately. 

I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth 
and the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out 
deliver the raps how I flow 
I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me wrong 
but they wont slither in too easy, believe me im snake minded 
be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that im in 
its all to do with timing not the label that you sign with 
then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in 
i try to hide my cold side like when i flip my pillows 
some of the the songs i write are real because the chart is filled with si-li-cone 
im still broke without the money for a mac pro, living out of three bags no talk about my cash flow 
opposite of sober cos I never did my homework 
which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older 
i played a fool to catch the wise i will never tell a lie 
i wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die! 
never die. 

2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like scrooge, 
making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes 
and if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze, 
times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move 
we scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most practical to do, 
driven young gentlemen 
i've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months cos i haven't slept in them, true! 
im coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so im correcting 'em 
we got the fans all like 'oh wow its its Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect from 'em 
in the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment 
fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever waste a second of the time I got, 
i keep my pupils engaged , 
like a classroom in holy matrimony but im only trying to stay awake. 

I never sleep 
when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be, ahhh 
the times i'm living in i never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free, it could be.. x4 
the times i'm living in lately.
