Ed Sheeran - Way Home Lyrics






Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Where a man and his thoughts lived all alone
He tried to live, no effort was shown
He’s slowly finding a way back home

He had a family with smiles and frowns
They never could solve his way to be down
Cos he’s one dog who don’t want a bone
He’s slowly finding a way back home

He had a nice house with windows and doors
He said to his wife what’s mine is yours
But the seeds of deception are soon to be sown
He’s slowly finding a way back home

His children have left but the rooms are still there
His misses the noise and the scents in their hair
But far from the nest the babies have flown
He’s slowly finding a way back home

His wife was an angel sent from above
He never returned her kisses or love
But soon he’d found that she’d overgrown
This man who’s finding a way back home

So the leaves are all dead in this broken man’s June
The rain will still fall on the sunny afternoon
He stares at the floor, no more to roam
He’s slowly finding a way back home

Well I once heard a story about a run-down home
Where a man with regrets lived all alone
He tried to live, no effort was shown
He’ll never find a way back home

    Well I once heard a story about a run-down home

  11. �.... A....

    This gives me "House of the rising sun" vibes so much.

  12. G.... D....

    Are u going 2 Scarborough fair?

  13. B.... ....

    Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes..

  14. p.... ....

    Sounds like I See Fire, but this is filled with way many feelings than the other

    p.... ....

    TF WHAT
    HAVE YOU EVEN LISTENED TO THE LYRICS OF I SEE FIRE !?

  15. C.... L....

    This is folk right?

  16. Y.... ....

    this simply reminds me of lord of the rings

    Y.... ....

    +Yeliz Yeah i know right? but WHY? is it the mellody?

    Y.... ....

    Yeliz maybe bc it's so similar to "I see fire", which was in the soundtrack

  17. J.... T....

    does anyone know why this isn't on iTunes??

    J.... T....

    ed wants to pretend this ep doesnt exist

    J.... T....

    @carebearz But why? :(

  18. c.... c....

    Sounds like Scarborough fair and house of the rising sun!

  19. J.... H....

    Can anybody tell me which album this is from please ? I agree very Simon and garfunkle ...excellent folk song. :)

    J.... H....

    @Billy Russom Yeah, I know. And I think I know all of his songs, but thank you. :) I meant "Ed Sheeran" was his first album - not EP.

    J.... H....

    @Alina I've always heard this one referred to as an EP. I mean, even the description calls it an EP. I've never really cared about the difference, but I always thought an EP was an album released before the artist gets signed to a label, which is pretty much what this is. Granted, it's like, double the length of an average EP, but I don't know if that matters.


    I'd also like to thank you for being polite, it would've been pretty easy to be rude there, correcting me and all that.

    J.... H....

    @Billy Russom I don't know the difference, but I always thought that there were less tracks on an EP than on an album. About 4-9 or something.
    I don't care either, though. :)

    Oh, no need to thank me. It's totally okay to correct me if I'm wrong. :D

    J.... H....

    @Alina That's the thing, I don't know if I'm wrong or if you're wrong. We could both be wrong for all I know. In the end, it doesn't even matter.

    J.... H....

    @Billy Russom Well, you think The Orange Room and Ed Sheeran are both EPs. I think The Orange Room is an EP and Ed Sheeran an album. So me saying "his first EP Ed Sheeran" was definitely wrong - no matter whose definition is right. :D

    Yeah, it doesn't really matter. :>

  20. s.... ....

    I think is just me, but this remind me of "Twilight" soundtrack

    s.... ....

    lol..exactly what I thought!

  21. C.... S....

    "I see Fire" sounds just like this

    C.... S....

    +Shawna Reaume well, both are like kind medieval

  22. j.... o....

    Did he write this?

    j.... o....

    Yep ed writes all his song! But he might have co writer help him 

    j.... o....

    +Isabelle .Defield he was fourteen so he didn't have any co writers

    j.... o....

    @Ruby Bond Indeed!
    But as he got older he got co writers!
    :D

    j.... o....

    @james owens he did, this is a rather common folk chord pattern though.

  23. M.... C....

    This reminds me of "I See Fire"! 

    M.... C....

    Exactly! I wanted to say that :)

  24. M.... A....

    gonna be one of my fav. Ed songs

  25. P.... M....

    I am the only one around here who thinks this sounds like simon and garfunkel?

    P.... M....

    You're not. My very first thought upon hearing this ! (:

    P.... M....

    @tryaliltenderness thats exactly what i was thinking

  26. C.... N....

    So frickin good

  27. b.... ....

    reminds me of Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel!

  28. C.... T....

    Sounds pretty good to me, good job!

  29. K.... J....

    I can tell this is heavily influenced by Bob Dylan.

  30. H.... T....

    My mother says the same thing every time she hears this song.

  31. J.... J....

    This reminds me of Scarbarough Fair

  32. L.... W....

    I've never heard this before and I've been a Sheerio for over a year. :o

  33. L.... ....

    So I'm supposed to write my next English speech on a song that deals with an issue and god dammit if Ed's songs aren't perfect for that nothing is

  34. C.... ....

    This sounds a bit like The Hanging Tree! I absolutely love this song :)

  35. H.... A....

    how could a person be so perfect like that, whenever someone says I cried for a song I feel it's sarcastic, but I know what it means, cause I cry for no reason when I hear his music!! so perfect

  36. a.... m....

    scarbourgh fair

  37. J.... M....

    Maybe "House of the rising sun" by The Animals? Sounds very similar...

  38. M.... ....

    I swear I've heard this before in a tv show or movie, but I just can't remember it xD

    Awesome song btw.

  39. F.... S....

    I think it sounds a little bit like Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair, but I might be wrong. :)

  40. N.... B....

  41. S.... A....

    I'm happy to be a part of this :)

    Am i the only one who finds this scary ??

  77. L.... ....

    im doing the same right now, i know im gonna sound like an obsessed pervert, but i SERIOUSLY didnt expect his earlier music to be this good, and for the past hour all ive been sayiing is 'fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck' and when ive finished i say 'shit, shit, shit, shit' again and again. and whats wierd, is that i promised myself to NEVER turn into an obsessive fan...yet here i am. (sorry about my language, but i just dunno what to say...)

  78. J.... H....

    This reminds me of "Richard Cory" by Simon and Garfunkel.
