Spaces

One Direction · Four [2014]

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

Spaces between us

Spaces Between us

The track blends pop-rock with electronic elements, reflecting the group's shift toward a more mature sound while maintaining their signature anthemic quality. Written by the band members themselves, the song explores themes of emotional distance and the complexities of modern relationships. Its production features a driving rhythm and layered vocals that became a staple of mid-2010s pop radio. The accompanying music video, directed by the band, further emphasized their artistic growth during this era. 'Spaces' remains a defining track in their discography, showcasing their ability to craft songs that resonate with both younger audiences and those who grew up with their earlier work.
