Story of My Life Lyrics

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning
She don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holdin' on too tight
With nothing in between

The Story of My Life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke, inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are
The colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning now
I see ascending light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke, inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm and time
Is frozen

The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life

Story of My Life

This guitar-led ballad finds One Direction singing of a girl who broke their hearts. It was co-written by Jamie Scott, who also co-penned the Up All Night tracks, "More Than This" and "Stole My Heart" as well as the Take Me Home tunes "C'mon C'mon" and "She's Not Afraid." The British singer-songwriter's other credits include Enrique Iglesias' "Heartbeat", Michael Kiwanuka's "Home Again" and Matt Cardle's "Loving You."

Niall Horan recalled the first time Scott played them the song during an interview with UK radio station Capital FM. "We were in Nottingham on tour when we were touring the UK back in February and March," he recalled, "and we just came into a room one day and he was like, 'I've got this song that I've written and I want to play [it for] you.' And we just fell in love with it the second we heard it."

The One Direction guys contributed to the lyrics whilst "Best Song Ever" collaborators John Ryan and Julian Bunetta produced the tune. Scott recalled to MTV News that as soon as 1D heard his demo, "they freaked out and finished the song with us. It's always good to have their kind of input on lyrics and stuff just to make sure they're really singing what they're singing about."

The song is more folk-orientated than most of One Direction's previous offerings, but Scott told MTV News the quintet have the talent to pull it off. "It's not that hard a thing to do because the boys have really good voices, they've all got very different voices. Harry [Styles'] rasp is something that you can always lean towards... All the boys have such a great sound themselves," he said. "For instance the demo that we played the boys sounds a lot more folky than it does now. That's what amazing about their voices [when they record it] straight away it sounds like them."

With five vocalists, One Direction was well-suited for the huge chorus in this song, which is the focal point. The song opens with a guitar figure that continues under the first verse. There is a big change in intensity going from the verse to the chorus, and a cymbal swell acts as a transition.

After the first chorus, the drumbeat continues through the second verse. After the second chorus, the song breaks down with just acoustic guitar and vocal ("And I'll be waiting for this time..."), which serves as the bridge. After the third chorus, the song resolves with the music coming out, leaving the last line - the title of the song - bare.

The music video was directed by Ben Winston, who also helmed the clip for One Direction's previous single "Best Song Ever." The visual features the guys gazing at old family photographs and literally re-living the memories hey contain. We get to see: Zayn's sister, Niall's brother, Liam's parents and sisters Harry's mother and Louis' grandparents. The latter is an especially poignant scene as two of the folks in the picture are no longer with us, and in a moving moment, they fade and disappear before the recreation takes place.

This is the only track on Midnight Memories to be co-written by all five One Directioners, however all but two songs on the album bears the name of at least a single band member in the credits.

Don't Forget Where You Belong Lyrics

Been a lot of places
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home

Living out of cases,
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know,
I know the moon will be rising
Back home

Don't Forget Where You Belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory

I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh, so I know, I know, I know,
I know that I'm never leaving
No, I won't go

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

Lights off when they should be on
Even stars and skies above
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I've gone
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'll always be around oh

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Home
Don't forget it
Home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Never forget it
This song
Don't forget it!
No, I never forget it
This song
You were never

Don't Forget Where You Belong

This anthemic song was penned by Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter of UK pop-rockers McFly. The same trio also wrote the Take Me Home track, "I Would" and Fletcher also composed on his own "I Want" for Up All Night. "One Direction are so similar to us, but they're on a global scale," Danny Jones told Digital Spy . "We had a little smidgen of what they had and we're happy. I'm glad that they came to us because we can give them good music."

He added: "They've had such good songs and we're privileged to be a part of that. For us it's not about making money and being there for a moment, for us it's about the musical satisfaction and we can give that to One Direction."

Liam Horan contributed towards the lyrics. They were inspired by the bouts of homesickness, he suffers when on tour. "Luckily, I have my four best mates on the road with me to keep me from getting lonely," he told Billboard magazine. "Of course we all miss home at times. Who wouldn't, being on the road all year long? Wouldn't give it up for anything though."

Midnight Memories Lyrics

1, 2, 3

Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell
A big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk shh but we don't listen

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight Memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

5 foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way
Same old shh but a different day

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

You and me and all our friends
I don't care how much we spend
Baby, this is what the night is for,
I know nothing's making sense
For tonight let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop so give me more

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

Midnight Memories

The title track of One Direction's third album is an ode to the quintet's life on tour. It was written by Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson from the band with their frequent collaborators, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta and Jamie Scott. The same trio also co-penned "Story of My Life."

Liam told Ryan Seacrest during a pre-release Q&A that this track is the most significant part of Midnight Memories. "This was the first song we wrote on the new album and it set us on course of what writing the rest of this album was going to be. It set the tone," he explained.

The song talks about over-crowded Addison Lees, which is a reference to a London-based minicab company. Addison Lee was co-founded by minicab driver John Griffin, who was convinced that his new business needed a name which started with an "A" so it would appear early in telephone directory listings. A colleague mentioned to him that people thought his address, Addison Gardens, sounded very posh and Griffin added 'Lee' to complete it.

Julian Bumetta told MTV News the song personifies the five guys' lifestyle. "It's the title of the album and it just happens to fall in line with Up All Night, Take Me Home, it's all references to in the evening," he said.

"And midnight memories are where most of the memories of this record were made," Bunetta continued. "[It] was between midnight and 5 in the morning. We have so many memories of just being in the studio or being after a show or being in the back of the bus or going to one of the guys' places and hanging and writing. Or, [it's also] just when you're young and that's when you kind of have all your experiences."

When Midnight Memories entered the Billboard 200 at #1, One Direction became the first group in US chart history to debut their first three albums at the peak position. The 546,000 copies sold in its first week meant that the former X Factor act became only the third Pop group to sell more than 500,000 copies in a week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys were the two others to achieve the milestone.

Midnight Memories also reached the summit in over 26 other countries including Australia, Canada, Japan, Philippines, Spain and the United Kingdom. It was 2013's biggest-selling album around the world, clocking up global sales of four million.

The song bears a sonic resemblance to Def Leppard's 1987 hit single, "Pour Some Sugar On Me." However, the UK rock band's guitarist Vivian Campbell told Billboard magazine they wouldn't be pursuing legal action. "The chords are one-four-five," said Campbell. "Those are the blues. You don't get more basic than that. I think what's more reminiscent of the Leppard thing is the production, the sound, the vocals, the reverb and the way it's assembled. That is very flattering that all of a sudden these kids think it's a cool sound. I think a lot of people of their generation aren't going to connect their music to ours."

Midnight Memories was the UK's biggest-selling album of 2013, despite only being released at the end of November.

OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder wrote the music for this song about the ever-exhausting life on the road. As well as penning his own band's material, Tedder's resumé also shows him creating hit singles for the likes of Leona Lewis (Bleeding Love") and Beyoncé ("Halo.")

Harry, Louis and Liam wrote the lyrics about wanting to take their friends and loved ones with them as they travel around the globe.

Happily Lyrics

You don't understand, you don't understand
What you do to me when you hold his hand
We were meant to be but a twist of fate
Made it so you had to walk away

'Cause we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now
Yeah, we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave
So c'mon baby be with me
So Happily

It's four a.m. and I know that you're with him
I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin
And if he feels my traces in your hair
Sorry, love, but I don't really care

'Cause we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now
Yeah, we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave
So c'mon baby be with me
So happily

So happily
One, two, three, four!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're on fire now (we're on fire)

We're on fire now

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave
So c'mon baby be with me
So happily

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave

Happily

Harry Styles co-wrote this folksy Mumford & Sons influenced track with Savan Kotecha and Carl Falk. Kotecha and Falk, together with Rami Yacoub, penned many of One Direction's early hits including "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Live While We're Young," but this was the only song they contributed to on Midnight Memories.

Speaking to E! News, Harry said that he drew inspiration from his own life when penning lyrics for Midnight Memories. "When you're writing songs, it's impossible to not draw on personal experiences, whether it be, you know, traveling or girls or anything," he admitted. "That's the amazing thing about music, there's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck."

Through The Dark Lyrics

You tell me that you're sad and lost your way
You tell me that your tears are here to stay
But I know you're only hiding
And I just wanna see you

You tell me that you're hurt and you're in pain
And I can see your head is held in shame,
But I just wanna see you smile again
See you smile again

But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you
And I'll be here for you

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way Through The Dark

I wish that I could take you to the stars
I'd never let you fall and break your heart
And if you wanna cry or fall apart
I'll be there to hold you

You tell me that you hurt, it's all in vain
But I can see your heart can love again
And I remember you laughing
So let's just laugh again

But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you, back to you

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

And you don't need
You don't need to worry
And you will see it's easy to be loved
I know you wanna be loved

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down
We will find a way through the dark

Through The Dark

Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson co-penned this folk-style, drum-driven inspirational anthem with their frequent collaborator Jamie Scott along with Toby Smith, who was the keyboardist and co-songwriter for the British Pop-Funk band Jamiroquai from 1992 up to 2002.

The five One Direction members contributed lyrics to 12 of the 14 songs on the standard edition of Midnight Memories (and an additional three on the 18-track deluxe.) Louis Tomlinson has the most credits of the group, with nine. He told The Mail On Sunday's Weekend magazine about how his songwriting has developed. "At first it was really hard: you sit in a room with writers asking you about your love life and stuff like that, and they start to piece together a song," he said. "But you keep on doing it and we've written more and more."

"This album is definitely more rock, more of us," Louis continued. "Writing the songs ourselves – that's the thing that makes you start to feel you deserve to be where you are, not all the other crazy stuff. We do look at other bands – even people like Take That – and see what it was that made them. Whatever else, it's the songs that are going to last, so that's much more of a focus for us."

Louis explained to host Ryan Seacrest how instead of writing as a five piece, the group often splits up. "We often break off in pairs and that's kind of the way that we do it," he said. "It often gets a bit crowded if everyone's in the same room."

Stand Up Lyrics

From the moment I met you, everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine

I would walk through the desert
I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine

So put your hands up
Cause it's a Stand Up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart

I know your hearts been broken
But don't you give up
I'll be there, yeah I know it
To fix you with love
It hurts me to think that you've ever cried

So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart
Every piece of your heart
So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving 'til I finish stealing every piece of your heart

And I will steal us a car
And we will drive to the stars
I will give you the moon
It's the least I can do if you give me the chance

So put your hands up
Cause it's a stand up

(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
You can call me a thief
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your part
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Because you stole my heart

(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
So put your hands up
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Cause it's a stand up
And I won't be leaving till I finish stealing every piece of your heart

Cause you stole my heart
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
Call me a thief
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
But you should know your part
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)
I'm only here
(I'm a thief, I'm a thief)

Stand Up

This song is a bonus track on the Limited Yearbook Edition of Up All Night. It was written by Roy Stride, who is the frontman of Scouting For Girls, a group who have clocked up several Top 10 hits in their native UK, including "Elvis Ain't Dead," "Heartbeat" and the chart-topping "This Ain't A Love Song."

Stride also had a song shortlisted for 1D's third album, Midnight Memories, but it didn't make the final cut. Asked how he approaches writing a track for the biggest boyband in the world, Stride told Digital Spy : "I used to think, 'Ah, let's write a song for a boyband,' whereas now I've just realised you've got to write a f---ing good song. To get on a One Direction album - every single songwriter in the world wants to get on it - you've just got to write an absolutely amazing song. I don't think about who it's for, I've just got to write something that is amazing."

Steal My Girl Song Chart

The lead single from Four, the song was penned by Louis and Liam with frequent One D songwriters Ed Drewett, Wayne Hector, Julian Bunetta and John Ryan. The same six songsmiths also wrote the Midnight Memories track "Little White Lies" together.

This was made available everywhere apart from Britain on September 29 2014. It was released in One Direction's home country a fortnight later. A remix of the recording by Liam (dubbed as the Big Payno Remix) was made the B Side in the UK.

The song is a piano ballad that has the guys lamenting about those who want to steal their girlfriends away. Julian Bunetta revealed to MTV News that there were actually several girls that inspired the track. "It's based on everybody's experience," he said, "you have six guys in a room that have all been in love before and we all have jealousy — some are better at hiding it than others, but we don't like when people hit on our girlfriends."

"But it was more of a joyous thing, it just speaks to how happy you are with this person," Bunetta continued. "If you have something great, everyone is going to try and take it from you. And that also speaks to the fanbase, I think, 'cause of other groups [trying to steal the 1D fanbase] … there are a lot of layers."

Bunetta revealed that the idea behind the song happened pretty randomly. "I think, if I recall correctly, we were playing a drum beat and it just sort of came out," he recalled. "Somebody said that line and it was like, 'Woah, yeah I relate to that,' and we all looked around and was like, 'Yeah, I like that, I can totally relate to that.'"

The piano at the beginning of the song is similar to both New Found Glory's 2006 track, "It's Not Your Fault" and Journey's 1983 single "Faithfully." New Found Glory's frontman, Chad Gilbert, picked up on the resemblance and jokingly tweeted:

Props to the @onedirection "steal my girl" single for reworking the "it's not your fault" piano part into a top 40 single. Let me get a cut.

Bumetta wasn't aware of the resemblance until he read the song reviews. "When we sat down and played the piano lick, nobody had any references in their head about what they wanted to write or anything and then I saw all the things about that [Journey song]," he told MTV News. "At the end of the day, the lyric and the melody have nothing to do with any other song that I have ever heard. Sometimes there's only so many things you can do with a piano at that tempo."

The song's music video was directed by Ben and Gabe Turner, who both produced the 2011 TV movie One Direction: A Year in the Making. The clip features comic actor Danny DeVito as the visual's fictional director and we see the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star direct the guys through some bizarre antics with a juvenile chimpanzee, sumo wrestlers, acrobats and a marching band.

One Direction became the first group to have their first four albums debut at #1 in the US when their appropriately titled long player, Four, topped the Billboard 200 album chart in its first week.

18 Lyrics

I got a heart and I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don’t want to feel alone

So kiss me where I lay down
My hands press to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18

We took a chance
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we’d be fine

So pour me a drink oh love,
Let’s split the night wide open and we’ll see everything
We can live in love in slow motion, motion, motion

So kiss me where I lay down
My hands press to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms are made for holding you, ooh
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18

When we were 18
Oh lord, when we were 18

Kiss me where I lay down
My hands press to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing

To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you
And I want a love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I want a love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I want a love like you made me feel

When we were 18

18 Song Chart

This was written by Ed Sheeran, who previously penned One Direction's Take Me Home tracks "Little Things" and "Over Again," as well as "Moments" from the deluxe version of their debut album.

Ed explained to Nova's Kent 'Smallzy' Small that he initially declined Simon Cowell's request for him to pen a song for 4. "I wasn't gonna do it... basically, my record label got very annoyed that my first #1 was a song that I gave to someone else," he said, "and they were kind of like "don't do it."'

However, while in Copenhagen, inspiration struck and Ed, "went into the rest room, where it's big and reverberative" and penned the tune. He said that his record label didn't mind as, "it's one of these songs that I wouldn't have used for myself, it's written specifically for them."

Simon Cowell explained to Capital Radio how the collaboration came about. "The funny story was that Ed came down to see me at Got Talent, as he was performing. He came up to the dressing room and I went, 'Where's the One Direction song?' And he said, 'I didn't know you wanted a song from me', and I went, 'Yeah'."

"And then literally a week later he comes round to my house with his manager one night, turned up around 11 o'clock and said, 'Do you like this song?' and he played me '18' and it took me about a millionth of a second to say yes."

Girl Almighty Lyrics

(Hey hey, Oh no no)

Her light is as loud as as many ambulances
As it takes to save a savior (whoa whoa whoa)

She floats through the room on a big balloon
Some say, "She's such a fake"
That her love is made up
No, no no no

Let's have another toast to the Girl Almighty
Let's pray we stay young
Stay made of lightning

Am I the only,
Only believer?

There's something happening here

The only
Only believer

(There's something happening here,
I hope you feel what I'm feeling too)

I get down, I get down, I get down
On my knees for ya
I get down, I get down, I get down
On my knees
I get down on my knees for you

Her light is as loud as as many ambulances
As it takes to save a savior (whoa whoa whoa)

She floats through the room on a big balloon
Some say, "She's such a fake"
That her love is made up
No, no no no

Let's have another toast to the girl almighty

Let's pray we stay young
Stay made of lightning

Am I the only,
Only believer?

There's something happening here

The only
Only believer

(There's something happening here,
I hope you feel what I'm feeling too)

I get down, I get down, I get down
On my knees for ya

I get down, I get down, I get down
On my knees
I get down on my knees for you

Spaces Lyrics

Who's gonna be the first one to start the fight?
Who's gonna be the first one to fall asleep at night?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?

We keep taking turns
Will we ever learn?

Oh Spaces between us
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why

Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

Who's gonna be the first one to compromise?
Who's gonna be the first one to set it all on fire?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Forgetting every single promise we ever made?

Oh spaces between us
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why

Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

We keep taking turns
Will we ever learn?
When will we learn?

Oh spaces between us
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why

Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Spaces between us
Spaces between us
The spaces between us
The spaces between us

Clouds Lyrics

I know you said
That you don’t like it complicated
That we should try keep it simple
But love is never ever simple
No

Someday
You’re gonna see the things that I see
You’re gonna want air that I breathe
You’re gonna wish you never left me

Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end
Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end

If we’re never coming back down
Yeah we’re looking down on the clouds

I know you said
That you don’t like it complicated
That you are tired of all the changes
But love is always always changing
Woah

Someday
You’re gonna see the things that I see
You’re gonna want the air that I breathe
You’re gonna wish you never left me

Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end
Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end

If we’re never coming back down
Yeah we’re looking down on the clouds

And we go
And we go
And we go
And we don’t stop

But we don’t
No we don’t
No we don’t
Never go up

And we go
And we go
And we go
And we don’t stop

But we don’t
No we don’t
No we don’t
Never go up

Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end
Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end (Here we go again)

Here we go again
Another go round for all of my friends (Here we go again)
Another non stop will it ever end
Here we go again (Here we go again)
Another go round for all of my friends
Another non stop will it ever end (Here we go again)
