One Direction Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're callin' out the constellations
I swear you know 'em all by name
I see the moon accentuatin'
The summer freckles on your face

[Pre-Chorus]
And I already miss right now
And I wish I could slow this down
Slow it down

[Chorus]
'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the starts to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be sayin' how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get closеr, come, let me hold you now

[Verse 2]
'Causе I just wanna memorize you
And every detail I can see
So even though we can't rewind
I'll have a picture I can keep
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I already miss right now
And I wish I could slow this down
Slow it down

[Chorus]
'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the starts to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be sayin' how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get closer, come, let me hold you now

[Bridge]
Nothin' is forever
And I'm just figurin' out
That's what makes it better
So come, let me hold you now
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause time only moves in one direction
These are the nights we won't get back
Don't wanna waste one single second
Don't want the starts to fall so fast
'Cause someday we'll be sayin' how
We wish we could turn back around
Time only moves in one direction
Come on, get closer, come, let me hold you now
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Come, let me hold you now
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Come, let me hold you now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
