Ed Sheeran, The Game - Roadside lyrics

[Ed Sheeran, The Game - Roadside lyrics]

My lawyer's son died in his sleep last night
Got me thinking 'bout who I
Was in my past life
To be surrounded by so much pain
I understand my karma but why
Is theirs the same?
Two good people, two amazing sons
Just yesterday they had both
Now they raising one
I look at the clouds and just think
I could lose mine or they could
Lose me in one blink
When I think one day it all ends
I start to drink
And fathom suicide 'cause I was
Almost on the brink
And it feel like my family been jinxed
Ever since I found my grandmother stiff
Leaning over the kitchen sink
I could cry enough tears to float Noah's Ark
Perfect health but she died of a broken heart
And after that, it was domino effect
First my uncle, then my daddy
I guess I'm in line next

I got lost on the roadside
Yeah, I lost my way
I give thanks to the most high
'Cause he kept me safe
Hope to God that I don't die
So I pray
If I go, momma don't cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside

How come you can't learn a lesson
Until you go through it?
How come you can think about the
Past but can't go to it?
If I could, I would flow through it
Walk up to triple X's BMW window
And stick a note to it
Tell him to drive off, the devil coming
Ever since he fell from heaven
He been trying to settle something
I keep the faith and try not to question God
But I gotta problem when I
See innocent people die
I sympathise with Jews
I sympathise with blacks
Sympathise with Natives
America's yours if you want it back
Where the hunger at?
Probably under a tree in
Mississippi, by the river
Where they hung us at
If Jesus walked, why we all running laps?
Feel like ending racism further than
Where the Sun is at
A war to keep people from people
How dumb is that?
I guess we shouldn't put our thoughts
On the front of hats

I got lost on the roadside
Yeah, I lost my way
I give thanks to the most high
'Cause he kept me safe
Hope to God that I don't die
So I pray
If I go, momma don't cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside

Fall short and my soul will fly
Caught trippin' on the other side
I know it happen to me every time
Caught out on the roadside
Thumb high in the wind, ditch high
Tell my momma, I'ma be alright now
I'll be home in a few weeks, soon
Till then, I'll sing this song to you

I got lost on the roadside
Yeah, I lost my way
I give thanks to the most high
'Cause he kept me safe
Hope to God that I don't die
So I pray
If I go, momma don't cry
I was on the roadside

I got lost on the roadside
Yeah, I lost my way
I give thanks to the most high
'Cause he kept me safe
Hope to God that I don't die
So I pray
If I go, momma don't cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside
