Shirtsleeves Songtext
von Ed Sheeran

I can taste salt water
And if I blink again
You′ll be sinking in
So we'll learn to swim in the oceans you made
I′ll hold ya
And you think of him
And pretty soon, you'll be floating away

And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of
Anchored down in my throat, love
And I′m captain of the sinking boat, now
With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won′t dry
I'll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I′ll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes


I still taste salt water
On my lips from your kiss of bitterness
And I'll drown within the oceans you made
And I hate to love you, these cuffs are covered in your make-up
I′ll never trust you again
You can just be a friend

And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of
Anchored down in my throat, love
And I′m captain of the sinking boat, now
With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won't dry
I'll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I′ll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes

Your eyes, your lips, your mouth
Your thighs, your back, you drive me wild
Tonight, the fact is I
I′m on my way home
On my way home
I lied, I tried to cry but I'm-
I′m drowning in the oceans you made


When salted tears won't dry
I′ll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I'll wipe my shirtsleeves under your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
