-- | LYRICS |--

When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here, made friends and lost them through the years
And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know, I’ve grown
but I can’t wait to go home

I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer, And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Fifteen years old and smoking hand rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it right
I was younger then, take me back to when we found
Weekend jobs when we got paid and buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown
I can’t wait to go home

I’m on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer, And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One’s brother overdosed
Ones already on his second wife
Ones just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can’t wait to go home

And I’m on my way, and I still remember those country lanes
When we did not know the answers, And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

[rokaiya]

This song makes me think of memories that I never had

[ariel]

I NEVER BROKE MY LEG OR WATCHED THE SUNSET OVER A CASTLE ON THE HILL BUT WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I HAVE AFTER LISTENING TO THIS

[justaguy]

The part when it talks about his friends and then says, "but these people raised me, and I can't wait to go home" just makes my day everytime i listen to this song, I love it.
October of 2022 - Masterpiece of a song, still never get tired of it❤

[chelsearice]

This was my son's favorite song. Played it when he was sad, before surgery, and when he was happy. It always brought a smile to his face no matter the situation.
On July 19, 2021 at 3.34 pm we had to pull the plug on his life at 4 yrs old. We played this song to send him off and this is the first time I have listened to it since then. It was the soundtrack to my life for 4 yrs 3 months and 1 day. Ed never see this but damn if it didn't go from bringing joy to tears.
Thus is the first time I have listened to it in 418 and it brought zayn back to us. Tears and all
#zaynseestheworld

[manlytea]

I flashed through my life listening to this song and cried
If you read this, keep fighting.

[ivanob]

"We didn't know we were making memories. We were just having fun..."

[sadboy]

This is one of the song that feels like a a soundtrack even without a movie

[elinakayrouz]

Ron Weasley wrote a song about Hogwarts.Love it.

[ruth]

This feels like a song for a movie in 2017/2018 maybe??

[zermori.mp]

I have such a love-hate relationship with this song. It gives me intense nostalgia for things that both happened and never existed. The specific lyrics "I still remember these old country lanes..." makes me wanna go back to where I came from and never leave. Maybe I'm just an emotional wreck, but I can't help tearing up whenever I hear this.

[chiarajongoy]

It’s already July 2024. Idk but this song is nostalgic. The line “can’t wait to go home” hits different.

[yoked]

Why does 3 years ago seem like a lifetime ago but simultaneously like it was only just yesterday as well?

[amithtat]

this song hits different for every small-town kid, Ed's best song no cap.

[sanjeevsingh-fbhs]

There will always come a time when this song hits home to you. We all will return here even if it's months or years apart. This song will always be close to my heart!

[kaleigha]

Five years later and this song still hits the spot just right 💜

[jacobazzarello]

This song gives me some feels. Anyone else?

[kikenna]

The way Ed tells stories with his songs always blows me away

[lettuce]

Dude these lyrics videos are awesome. I love how creative it is.

[lesley]

6 days into the year and Ed Sheeran has already saved 2017

[etheron]

Man, that song hits way hard to me. I miss living at my hometown, where it's peaceful, stress free, and having people you know being with you
