Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk. After dropping out of school at 16, he moved to London the following year, in 2008, to pursue a career in music. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of Elton John and Jamie Foxx. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (read as "plus"), was released on 9 September 2011 and has since been certified six-times platinum in the UK. The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act.
Sheeran's popularity abroad began in 2012. In the US, he made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John. He spent much of 2013 opening for Swift's The Red Tour in North America dates. In late 2013, he performed three sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden as a headline act. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2014 Grammy Awards.
At 1:00 AM I'm home while writing to you
Its almost winter
but its warmer then June
With only 5 hours away from here
and a trip I'm looking forward to-
I think I might be seeing you soon.
(seeing you soooooon)
That morning I woke up on Sunday
Next to tree tops
Off of orange, across the way
Happy Birthday
I'm happy that your here with me.
A home with only the two of us-
Theres no other place I'd rather be
(I'd rather beeeee)
Since I've met you it's all seemed right
now I'm longing for the November night...
I've said it all,
every word I mean,
and I just want you back.
I miss you.
So wherever you're at
(wherever your at)
I'll make you see
(I will make you see)
That I just want you back
