The A Team - Ed Sheeran ( lyrics )

White lips, pale face
Breathing in the snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, days end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim, stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
But she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyes and hopin' for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't wanna go outside tonight
And in the pipe, fly to the motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die

[@notsopopular5641]

Crazy how lyrics can be misunderstood.
For the longest i though this song was about a love one dying to a diease. It turns out its abour drugs and overdose.
With lyrics like -"The angel will die, covered in white. Closed eyes and hoping for a better life." And "Going mad for a couple grams".
Both of these hinting at both Crack and Even Weed. "Selling love to another man" meaning selling your body for drugs. Lastly- "Long nights, Strange men." Another hint at someone selling themselves for a drug.
Ed Shereen is a genius!❤

Sometimes I think that ppl hate Ed Sheeran because they haven’t heard this song.

[@gail4972]

Such a sad, sad song about a devastating epidemic. Rest in peace, my sweet angel...

[@thoubread411]

Yea it is, i never knew what the song was abt but I've listened to it since it came out in 2011, it always has a good place in my heart

[@michaelohara49]

Yes, that stuff is devastating. 15 years ago, I was in a room with 5 of my best mates. I'm the only one still alive, I'm only 38. I count my blessings everyday that I managed to stay away from the junk but it is still destroying lives around me almost daily. Crack Cocaine and crystal Meth have started showing up in my relatively small town
recently in much the way heroin was 20 years ago and I cannot imagine what that will do over the coming years ?

[@peestrem31]

@@michaelohara49Yeah drugs suck. Heroin is such a terrible thing, I can't imagine any one of my loved ones getting addicted to it. It has no redeemable qualities

[@jaredwright1124]

My best friends, my family… almost everyone I have loved, gone to heroin/fentanyl… They’re all in a better place now.. I’ll see them soon enough! Stay safe people, please try to find help! Life goes on, things WILL get better! ❤😢
