Hold up, everyone. Ed Sheeran wants to set the record straight.

After MTV News premiered an exclusive excerpt from his book,

, people began assuming that the singer was homeless for a period of time after hearing that Sheeran "didn\'t have a place to stay" from 2008 to 2010.

And that\'s not technically true. He just "went without a bed some nights."

"It\'s been really taken out of context in press—everyone\'s saying Ed Sheeran was homeless. I never say that in the book," he told Capital FM. "I went without a bed for some nights, that\'s it. It\'s just that I didn\'t have a place to stay [those nights], so I slept on the Central Line and outside Buckingham Palace. That\'s just what I did."

have a song titled "Homeless," though, and that was inspired by those nights outside Buckingham Palace.

"2009 I\'d been doing it [playing gigs in London] for about four years. I lost my place to live and just started staying at friends\' that I met along the way and it was a very fun time I had a lot of fun," he explained to MTV during his documentary,

"I met a lot of people that [and] had a lot of experiences that an 18-year-old probably shouldn\'t have, and when I didn\'t have a place I would stand onstage and be like, ‘If anyone has got a couch tonight,\' and it would usually work."
