This Town - Niall Horan

Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air It's hard Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running 'round It's funny how things never change in this old town So far From the stars And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I saw that you moved on with someone new In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you It's so hard So hard And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I know that it's wrong That I can't move on But there's something 'bout you If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you Everything comes back to you

City lights are pointing at me I close my eyes to see what you see Smoke cleared it took my breath away I crossed all seven different oceans To gather every perfect moment The brightest stars are falling down Oh love it's easy You should believe me Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away But still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around City lights are trying to catch me Open my eyes to see the beauty Falling stars are coming alive Oh love it's easy You should believe me In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around Black and white Blinding lights Here inside With me tonight Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun bneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around This town This town

Tell me babe Wanna leave this town I'm saying Love her if you wanna go I'm down (I'm down) Cuz darling we were made for bigger things (Bigger things) And this place keeps killing our dreams Let's go love I'm saying ain't you tired of waiting We could leave this whole place behind Let's go love I'm saying ain't you tired of waiting We could leave this whole place behind Tell me babe Do you wanna stay I'm so fucked up And I'm fading away (Fading away) See I got nothing to do but chill But i think that you could be real Losing myself over you I mean I've got nothing better to do (I-I-I) I just want you (I-I-I) To come through and (I-I-I) Put me back together See I remember days like that And I remember times when I had your ass like Like that Like that Like that Yeah your love is a conflict Locked up like convict And these problems are chronic But just say the word I'll solve it Tired of your ways Send another text I'll be over soon Pull up to my place Open up the door And come up to my room Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god Now you see naturally There's nobody like me (Nobody like me) There's no one like me (Nobody like me) I'll set you free

This town is a lonely town Not the only town like-a this town This town is a make-you town Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town This town is a quiet town Or a riot town like this town This town is a love-you town And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town This town is an all-right town For an uptight town like-a this town This town, it's a use-you town An abuse-you town until-you're-down town This town is a losin' town It's a miserable town It's a nowhere town And I am leavin' this town You better believe that I'm leavin' this town Man, it could never be uptown It's bound to be downtown This town, bye-bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

You're dead, but the world keeps spinning Take a spin through the world you left It's gettin' dark a little too early Are you missing the dearly bereft? Takin' flight and you could be here tomorrow Takin' flight, well, you could get here tonight (I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop through this town) What? I'm gonna fly on down, then fly away Well, all right Get down Get, get, get down Get down, now Get, get, get down Get down Takin' a spin through the neighborhood The neighbors scream, "Whatchya talking 'bout?" 'Cause they don't know how to let you in And I can't let you out What if I was not your only friend in this world? Can you take me where you're goin' if you're never comin' back? (I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop through this town) I'm gonna fly on down then fly away, on my way Get down Get, get, get down Get down, now Get, get, get down Get down, now Get, get, get down Get down, now Get, get, get down Get down Why don't we take a ride, away, up high through the neighborhood? Up over the billboards and the factories and smoke (I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop through this town) Yeah! I'm gonna fly on down, then fly away on my way Fly away Get down Get, get, get down Get down, now Get, get, get down Get down

I better keep myself from being busted I better keep myself out of jail 'Cause I ain't got a friend to get me trusted That's why my mama sends my money through the mail I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealth I'm gotta stop taking care of business Start taking care of my health I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight Well I set off down the main street With such a long, long way to go But before I started I was cornered on the corner Still waiting for my sugar to show I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealth I've gotta stop taking care of somebody's else's business Start taking care of myself I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter She was a real fine fox But the sheriff he came after And threatened to lock me in a cell box He showed me his magnum He showed me his shotgun He stuck it in my face And said, "Boy, I think you best be gone" I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight

You walk into the room, I go quiet I catch your eyes and don't blink an eyelid Feels like the world locked us on an island An island without waves I try and try to forget you But your mother thinks I'm the best for you I try and try to erase you But you won't disappear Feels like every time I turn a corner, you're standin' right there Over my shoulder, you're everywhere I swear it's hard to think, it's hard to breathe when you're in the air I try to run but you're everywhere I go When I think I'm all alone And my heart's under control Why is lovin' you not fair? You're everywhere The ground beneath my feet's a bit colder I see your face in people I don't know Feels like the world is twistin' in slo-mo And I'm stuck in one place I try and try to forget you But your mother thinks I'm the best for you I try and try to erase you But you won't disappear Feels like every time I turn a corner, you're standin' right there Over my shoulder, you're everywhere I swear it's hard to think, it's hard to breathe when you're in the air I try to run but you're everywhere I go When I think I'm all alone And my heart's under control Why is lovin' you not fair? You're everywhere Everywhere Everywhere I go But you're still not here And you're still not here Feels like every time I turn a corner, you're standin' right there Swear it's hard to think, it's hard to breathe when you're in the air Feels like every time I turn a corner, you're standin' right there Over my shoulder, you're everywhere I swear it's hard to think, it's hard to breathe when you're in the air I try to run but you're everywhere I go When I think I'm all alone (all alone) And my heart's under control Why is lovin' you not fair? You're everywhere You're everywhere

My mind is complicated Find it hard to rearrange it But I'll have to find a way somehow Overreacting lately Find it hard to say I'm sorry But I'll make it up to you somehow And I just don't know why Stars won't shine at night Tell me you want it A thousand miles away from the day that we started But I'm standing here with you, just trying to be honest If honesty means telling you the truth Well, I'm still in love with you Did I miscalculate this? Let's just go back to basics Forget about what's come and gone 'Cause I hate to see us like this Breaking up on nights just like this We should be shooting for them stars of gold So tell me you want it A thousand miles away from the day that we started But I'm standing here with you, just trying to be honest If honesty means telling you the truth Then I guess we lost our focus And it's killing me that we could go to war like this But I'm standing here with you, just trying to be honest If honesty means telling you the truth Well, I'm still in love with you Oh-oh, we will be alright Oh-oh, it'll be alright Oh-oh, we will be alright Oh-oh, it'll be alright So tell me you want it A thousand miles away from the day that we started But I'm standing here with you, just trying to be honest If honesty means telling you the truth I guess we lost our focus And it's killing me that we could go to war like this But I'm standing here with you, just trying to be honest If honesty means telling you the truth Well, I'm still in love with you

Can you feel what's beneath? Is it stone cold under your feet? Are you numb? Can you touch? Is the silence a little too much? And all you wanna do is break out So, when you feel there's nothin' left Oh, there's still a heart beatin' in your chest And when you're runnin' from the flood Oh, you've got nowhere left to run It's just science Don't let it break you down You can dance on your own It's okay 'cause you're not alone You can hide your love You'll have your days in the sun But all you wanna do is break out So, when you feel there's nothin' left Oh, there's still a heart beatin' in your chest And when you're runnin' from the flood Oh, you've got nowhere left to run Oh, when you feel you're sinkin' Overthinkin', time is crashin' down Oh, if you need somebody The world's too heavy to shine It's not too late now It's just science (don't let it break you) Don't let it break you down (don't let it break you down) Mmh, it's just science (don't let it scare you) Don't let it scare you now
