[Verse 1: Mik** Pane]
I promised you we'd meet up in a week's time
That was nearly two years ago
And even though we don't really speak
I'm happy with the voice I hear through my earphones
Cause I listen to your material now more than ever
And with every punchline I'm like wow, you're clever
I was there when you were making them up
So it's surprising that I still get so surprised
At how amazing they are
But I grin like a fool when I hear your lyrics, man
Even thought they're throw-away lyrics that you wrote for fun
I love the fact that I'm your biggest fan
But I hate the fact that I'm only the biggest cause I'm the only one
The CD's outdated but I need you on my playlist
So I downloaded your 25 tracks to my iPod
And they hurt me every time I make a journey
To play a gig where you should be the headline act
[Hook: Ed Sheeran]
You can find me floating sky-bound
When you tell me it's my time now
And if I never, ever find out
You will find me floating sky-bound, right now
[Verse 2: Mik** Pane]
Now I've got a few famous names in my phone book
But you're a mate before these friends and I know I should call ya
I love your food for thought and it's always home-cooked
But I'm away on more weekends than a pro footballer
It's partly my fault that we grow further apart
Every time my status grows a foot taller
But you head my list of the best that ever lived
Even when the list is in no particular order
There's no way you're giving me your share of the blame
Cause when you think realistically it's fairer to say
That you quit the game but still remained ahead of your time
Than it is to say that Mr Pane has left you behind
You should be way past my level with a career of your own
The world'll never know that you're the rightful heir to the throne
Cause I'll refuse to play you for the listening pleasure and then explain to them
Why my friend'll never make a penny from entertainment
[Hook: Ed Sheeran]
You can find me floating sky-bound
When you tell me it's my time now
And if I never, ever find out
You will find me floating sky-bound, right now
[Bridge: Mik** Pane]
You should've been the greatest ever
I've never put a better playlist together
Than the one with the 25 tracks
That I set as a benchmark whenever I rap
I've got a friend who should be everybody's favourite artiste
And nobody chosen him because they can't see
That he's there because he never wrote for fame, just peace
Nobody knows him, nobody but me
[Hook: Ed Sheeran]
You can find me floating sky-bound
When you tell me it's my time now
And if I never, ever find out
You will find me floating sky-bound, right now
