Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran (lyrics) When I was six years old, I broke my leg When I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down Well, 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\u0027ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I\u0027ve grown But I can\u0027t wait to go home I\u0027m on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to \u0022Tiny Dancer\u0022 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it\u0027s real And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill 15 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\u0027t reckon that I did it right But I was younger then, take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We\u0027d buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we\u0027ve grown But I can\u0027t wait to go home I\u0027m on my way (hoo-hoo) Driving at 90 down those country lanes (hoo-hoo) Singing to \u0022Tiny Dancer\u0022 And I miss the way you make me feel, and it\u0027s real And we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo), over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, 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\u0027s brother overdosed One\u0027s already on his second wife, one\u0027s just barely getting by But these people raised me and I can\u0027t wait to go home And I\u0027m on my way I still remember these old country lanes When we did not know the answers And I miss the way (hoo-hoo) you make me feel, it\u0027s real When we watched the sunset (hoo-hoo) over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill Hoo-hoo, over the castle on the hill
