The Sea
Ed Sheeran · Other Songs - Ed Sheeran
You say its gonna take a while
Your consciousness sinks
Tears from a crocodile
Youre wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, dont reach
Your smile
Youre holding your tears
Your inside is dead
Youre eating your fears
In a cigarette
Youve waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
Ive taken the blow
Its all down on paper
Had fun in the snow
But no see you later
Youre wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, dont reach
Your smile
Youre holding your tears
Your inside is dead
Youre eating your fears
In a cigarette
Youve waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
