Live While We're Young
One Direction · Take Me Home [2012]
I'm waiting on you
C'mon and let me sneak you out
And have a celebration, a celebration
The music up the windows down
Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool
And we know it too
Yeah, we'll keep doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight
Let's go crazy crazy crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never never never stop not for anyone
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And live while we're young
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
Hey girl it's now or never, it's now or never
Don't know a thing, just let it go
And if we get together, let's get together
Don't let the pictures leave the phone
Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight
Let's go crazy crazy crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never never never stop not for anyone
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And live while we're young
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
And girl
You and I
We're about to make some memories tonight
I wanna live while we're young
We wanna live while we're young
Let's go crazy crazy crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never never never stop not for anyone
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Crazy crazy crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never never never stop not for anyone
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
Wanna live, wanna live
Wanna live while we're young
Wanna live, wanna live
Wanna live while we're young
Wanna live, wanna live
Wanna live while we're young
Tonight let's get some
And live while we're young
