[Verse 1]

Could I wake up next to you

When we're hitting double figures

Look into your eyes

Like I'm looking into double mirrors

Could you make it any clearer

Everything's such a blur

It's not my turn

It's hers to get hurt

On a late night

Coming home from way too many train rides

Lace not as red as my face

I'm home at the same time

Highbury estate's fine

Smoking like a dragon, but don't chase lines


[Pre-Chorus]

I haven't slept for the past week

Two hours ain't enough for me

I feel inspired, at quarter to three am

I haven't changed since our last meet

I'm still getting all my meals for free

Think I'm being shunned by my feet again


[Chorus]

It's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be


[Verse 2]

And now I'm sitting on a night bus

Flicking through my Ipod

Feeling kinda tired

So I try to close my eyes up

Driver, turn the lights off

Lights on, on stage, mics on

Song plays, nice one

Gotta keep my hype strong

Truth be, never went to Uni

People see right through me

But I'm not a fool, see

I'm never gonna do one

Gonna live past 22, done

Everything I need to

Except get a 2:1


[Pre-Chorus]

I haven't slept for the past week

Two hours ain't enough for me

I feel inspired, at quarter to three am

I haven't changed since our last meet

I'm still getting all my food for free

Think I'm being shunned by my feet again


[Chorus]

It's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be


[Bridge]

When I feel cold

You keep me warm

And I'm not looking for some loose change

Just wanna find a true mate

Who wants to be my duvet?


[Interlude]

So this is the part where everyone gets a bit involved and uh... I introduce myself. My name is Ed Sheeran and it's a pleasure to be here. Who's up for singing a bit, yeah? The lyrics are "It's not a homeless life for me / It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be" That's a little bit of a sing-song right now


[Outro]

It's not a homeless life for me

It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be

Thank you!
