Even My Dad Does Sometimes
Ed Sheeran · X [Deluxe Edition] [2014]
Even my dad does sometimes
So don't wipe your eyes
Tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die
Cause death the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight hold on
So live life like you're giving all
Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path
It's alright to shake
Even my hand does sometimes
So inside the rage
Against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for today hold on
So live life like you're giving all
Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path
And hold on
