opening

Ed Sheeran

It s a long way up from rock bottom
There s been times I felt I could fall further
I have loved, and lost, and feared, and prayed
But now the day bursts wild and open

I have cried tears at my brother s grave
I have shaken hands with my wife s surgeon
I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
But now the day bursts wild and open

There s a time to cry
There s a time to fall
There s a time for holding on but then let it go
There s a time to run
To the arms of hope
And the day bursts wild and open

I was raised by the church
Quiet boy, still far from fizzlin
Not the pop star they say they prefer
Kept quiet, but I came to be heard
Been a long time on top, but I ain t complacent
If I look down, I can see replacements
Late-night drive and my heartbeat racin
Gotta make dreams and chase em
Takin my fair share of that ridicule
But the words are not applicable
Catalog formidable
me and that guy are in a different place
Undefeated but that s tempting fate
Two of them tried, but I won both cases
Won t get back all the time they ve wasted
I am not losin steam
In this world, there s no relaxin
I ve been here since Migraine Skankin
Never been cool, but never been a has-been
I d keep on your couch if you knew me back then
Go tell em bout the walls you re trapped in
Gotta keep this Usain pace
Don t ask me how I got this break
I built my own brick through constant playing
SB died, couldn t stop this pain
I look at the dots in space
I wonder if he s proud
Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
Keep it together for my daughters, gotta come natural
I don t wanna force it
if it is not factual, don t support it
Every year I gotta re-swim these waters

Draw a line
For the sake of all your family and friends
Draw a line
So history doesn t happen again
Draw a line
For the day to start, the night has to end
Draw a line
For all of these goals

Too high to fly this plane
Too fucked to drive this Range
Can t remember the last time
I was on my own without Kev
It s kinda strange
Not bein the same since nineteen
Never pushed Ly on a swing, I gotta wear disguises
I m up for tradin lives sometimes
and it may surprise em
Every stadium, I ve played it
But I would still do it for free
Gotta keep standards, top of the top of the tree
Press still got problems with me
When school starts, I might peace out
Till then, I keep chasin the dream
I could end it, but I don t wanna reach out
Cause he means nothing to me
Don t worry about what I make
Don t trip them up to win this race
When your career s in a risky place
Everything seems like a big mistake
I m still lookin for shit to say
Deludin myself that they ll still relate
Depression I keep at bay
Tomorrow is a different day
Me and that guy we don t speak no more
And, no bother, he s not sure, so what is the reason for?
My heart s been broke so many times
by loved ones
that I don t ever feel like talkin
So heed that warnin
Circle keep gettin smaller
All I need is Chez, and my daughters
and a few friends that help me

Draw a line
For the sake of your little girls and their time
Draw a line
But allow yourself some moments to cry
Draw a line
And leave the past that hurt you behind
Draw a line, for all of these ghosts
Draw a line
Be grateful that you ve been where you ve been
Draw a line
And recognize the path that happened between
Draw a line
There s future here that s yet to be seen
Draw a line
(Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line)
(Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line, draw a line)

The day bursts wild and open
