Moments
One Direction · Up All Night
I wanna be with you, I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this even though I try
Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
You I know I'll be your life,
Your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment in time
I'll find the words to say,
Before you leave me today
Close the door, throw the key
Don't wanna be reminded
Don't wanna be seen
Don't wanna be without you,
My judgement is clouded
Like tonight's sky
Hands are silent, voice is numb
Try to scream out my lungs
But it makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
You I know I'll be your life,
Your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this,
Moment in time
I'll find the words to say,
Before you leave me today
Flashing lights in my mind,
Going back to the time,
Playing games in the street,
Kicking balls with my feet,
There's a numb in my toes,
Standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all
You I know I'll be your life,
Your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment in time
I'll find the words to say,
Before you leave me today
You I know I'll be your life,
Your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment in time
I'll find the words to say,
Before you leave me today
