Niall Horan - Flicker Album Lyrics

I know what she's like
She's out of her mind
And wraps herself around the truth
She'll jump on that flight and meet you that night
And make you tear up the room

Yeah, she loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming)
She's coming for you
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming for you)

She'll dance in the dark
A real work of art
Her eyes could burn down the room
So get out while you can
You don't understand
She doesn't know how to lose

Yeah, she loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming)
She's coming for you
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming for you)

She'll run with your mind and pull you in tight
Then trade you in for something new
I know what it's like, I fell for it twice
And now I'm just warning you

She loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She loves when everybody's watching
She knows the way her body moves
She loves the way they all crawl back when she says
That she loves nobody else but you

She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming)
She's coming for you
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming)
She's on the loose (she's coming, she's coming for you)

She's on the loose
She's on the loose

Wakin' 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 runnin' 'round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars

And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

If the whole world was watchin', 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, mm

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 wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

'Cause if the whole world was watchin', 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, mm

And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's somethin' 'bout you

'Cause if the whole world was watchin', 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, mm
Everything comes back to you, mm

I have seen
Seen it all in paper dreams
I watched it unfold on the screen
But I never understood
I have heard
I've heard you speak a million words
Now you're talking to me first
I never thought you would

Oh, my, my
You just took me by surprise
And I can't believe my eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind
Oh, no I
You're too good to be all mine
Now I'm looking in your eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind

When I was young
My heart was always on the run
But you make lovin' fun
I never knew it could be, hey
I see you
From a different point of view
Feels too good to be true
I found my missing piece

Oh, my, my
You just took me by surprise
And I can't believe my eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind
Oh, no I
You're too good to be all mine
Now I'm looking in your eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind

Oh no

Oh, my, my
When I look into your eyes
It's a sight I can't describe
Oh, I must be seeing blind

Oh, my, my
You just took me by surprise
And I can't believe my eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind
Oh, no I
You're too good to be all mine
Now I'm looking in your eyes
Oh, I must be seeing blind

Oh, I must be seeing blind

"We should take this back to my place"
That's what she said right to my face
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby
I've been thinking 'bout it all day
And I hope you feel the same way, yeah
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo)
Slow hands

I just wanna take my time
We could do this, baby, all night, yeah
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo)

Fingertips puttin' on a show
Got me now and I can't say no
Wanna be with you all alone
Take me home, take me home
Fingertips puttin' on a show
Can't you tell that I want you, baby, yeah

Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those slow hands (woo)

(Yeah)
Your slow hands
Ooh, slow hands

Waiting here for someone
Only yesterday we were on the run
You smile back at me and your face lit up the sun
Now I'm waiting here for someone

And oh, love, do you feel this rough?
Why's it only you I'm thinkin' of?

My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
And tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet
That's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
Is it too much to ask?

Someone's moving outside
The lights come on down the drive
I forget you're not here when I close my eyes
Do you still think of me sometimes?

And oh, love, watch the sun comin' up
Don't it feel f*cked up we're not in love?

My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
And tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet
That's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?

My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
And tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet

My shadow's dancing
Without you for the first time
My heart is hoping
You'll walk right in tonight
And tell me there are things that you regret
'Cause if I'm being honest, I ain't over you yet
That's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?

That's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?
That's all I'm asking
Is it too much to ask?

(One, two, three)

In this house of broken hearts
We made our love out of stacks of cards
And, yes, we tried, to hold on tight
'Cause we knew our love was hard to find

And our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?

We held our cards, built them high
But way too close to the light
So turn your head, and let us go
I'll learn to breathe on my own

And our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?

Yeah, our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
I don't wanna lose your touch
I don't wanna hurt this much
I can feel you slipping away

Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why do we climb and fall so far?

Why do we climb to fall so far?

Like the rain on a sunny day
There's a shadow behind your face
Tell me what you're running from
I don't know what made you so afraid
Don't you know you got the best of me?
Yeah, you're everything I want

Anyone can see
Anyone can see
Your heartache, heartache (heartache, heartache)
You can talk to me
It's more than skin deep
But I'm trying, yeah (trying)

Since we're alone
Yeah, you can show me your heart
If you put it all in my hand
No, I swear
No, I won't break it apart
Yeah, since we're alone
Show me all that you are
And if you get lost in the light
It's okay, I can see in the dark

All your thoughts running through your head
The things you think better left unsaid
Just wanna know where you came from
Why would you wanna play someone else?
I love you best when you're just yourself
Yeah, you're everything I want

Anyone can see
Anyone can see
Your heartache, heartache (heartache, heartache)
You can talk to me
It's more than skin deep
But I'm trying, yeah (trying)

Since we're alone
Yeah, you can show me your heart
If you put it all in my hand
No, I swear
No, I won't break it apart
Yeah, since we're alone
Show me all that you are
And if you get lost in the light
It's okay, I can see in the dark

Since we're alone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone
Yeah, you can show me your heart
Since we're alone, lone, lone
Alone

Since we're alone
Yeah, you can show me your heart
(Show me your heart)
If you put it all in my hand
No, I swear
No, I won't break it apart
(Break it apart, yeah)
Yeah, since we're alone
Show me all that you are
(Show me all that you are)
And if you get lost in the light
It's okay, I can see in the dark
(I can see in the dark)

Since we're alone, lone, lone
Alone
Show me your heart
Since we're alone, lone, lone
Yeah, we're alone now
Show me your heart

When you feel your love's been taken
When you know there's something missing
In the dark, we're barely hangin' on
Then you rest your head upon my chest
And you feel like there ain't nothing left
I'm afraid that what we had is gone

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

When you lay there and you're sleeping
Hear the patterns of your breathing
And I tell you things you've never heard before
Asking questions to the ceiling
Never knowing what you're thinking
I'm afraid that what we had is gone

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

And I want this to pass
And I hope this won't last
Last too long

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

You keep saying that you're alright
But I can see it through the fake smile, you're not
There's a reservoir in your eyes
That you've been holding back a long time, that's wrong

Darling you don't have to hold it
You don't have to be afraid
You can go ahead and unload it
'Cause you know it'll be okay
Fire away
Fire away

Hold me close but at a distance
Thinking I don't ever listen, but I do
I know sometimes I get confusing
You might be lost but I won't be losing you

Darling you don't have to hold it
You don't have to be afraid
You can go 'head and unload it
'Cause you know it'll be okay
Fire away, hm
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away

And I will steady your hand
When you're losing your grip
Even if I don't understand
You can talk to me
And I will say steady your hand
When you're losing your grip
And even if I don't understand
You can talk to me
Fire away
Fire away

Fire away
Fire away
Fire away, ay

I've got a young heart
And it's wild and free
And I don't know where it starts
But it ends with you and me
It's a hard road
As far as I can see
I don't where I'm going
But I'll get back to you and me

'Cause we're two kids
Trying to start a fight
No matter where we go
Yeah, we'll be alright
All I'm asking for
A bit of patience, please
'Cause I know what's to come
And it's coming for you and me

Time's never been on our side
So would you wait for me?
I lead a selfish life
'Cause that's what I need
What do I have to do
To make you believe?
It's all for you and me

From a distance
I can hear you cry
Well don't you worry darlin'
Don't lose sleep tonight
I can promise it
I can guarantee
At the end of the road
I see you with me

Time's never been on our side
So would you wait for me?
I lead a selfish life
'Cause that's what I need
What do I have to do
To make you believe?
It's all for you and me

When I look down the line
At the man I wanna be
I've always known from the start
That it ends with you and me
