White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/ed_sheeran/a_team.html ]
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die

The meaning to this song is obvious. It is about a beautiful woman who lost her soul to methamphetamine. So she became a hooker with very little possessions. Each day she slowly becomes less pretty and motivated. She is wasting.

What it means for anyone who starts on class a drugs, as a teenager, an empty devoid life, life as a prostitute and drug addict , lives in complete depravity and poverty as she turned to a life of crime to fund drug addiction, going out at night, walking the streets, doing without food, malnourished, cold, hungry, selling sex to men, not wearing warm clothes. Eventually succumbs and dies all addicts will perish this way unless they get urgent drug rehabilitation, the song shows how pointless a life on drugs is. Look at whitney houston for example. Wasted her life and all junkies are utter scumbags and deserve no sympathy as they inject it in their own bodies and will kill you for a £5 note. The song is bleak because drugs are.

The girl has been taking drugs.
Ed sheeran wrote this song because he visited a shelter and met a drug addict who eventually died of drugs
