Ready To Run

One Direction · Four (Deluxe) [2014]

There's a lightning in your eyes, I can't deny

Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time

Without you I'll never make it out alive

But I know, yes I know I'll be alright

There's a devil in your smile it's chasing me

And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed

There's a moment when you finally realize

There's no way you can change the rolling time

But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine



This time I'm ready to run

Escape from the city and follow the sun

Cause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

This time I'm ready to run

Wherever you are is the place I belong

Cause I wanna be free, and I wanna be loved

I will never look back now I'm ready to run

I'm ready to run



There's a future in my life I can't foresee

But less of course I stay on course to keep you next to me

There will always be the kind to criticize

But I know, yes I know I'll be alright



This time I'm ready to run

Escape from the city and follow the sun

Cause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

This time I'm ready to run

Wherever you are is the place I belong

Cause I wanna be free, and I wanna be loved

I will never look back now I'm ready to run



This time I'm ready to run

I keep everything that I got from your love



This time I'm ready to run

Escape from the city and follow the sun

Cause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?

I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night

This time I'm ready to run

Wherever you are is the place I belong

Cause I wanna be free, and I wanna be loved

I will never look back now I'm ready to run
