Faith in the Future (Deluxe) Album Lyrics by Louis Tomlinson

The Greatest

Tell you I'm on my way
Nothing can make me late
Said I had a plan for us
Time had came and changed it all
We had to disappear
'Cause nothing gets through here
Through that circle 'round my heart
Where the best of me should start

I said you know me
Alone, we're only
Just as good as the rest

Together we're the greatest
We'll never be left cold again
No fallin' all to pieces
We're the greatest
It's you and me until the end
Life for us is never over

The way you know somethin'
Your face reminding me
Of a love you cannot hide
But don't need to tell me why
Back dancin' in the dark
Back to the very start
Findin' pieces that can fit
We can hope for what we miss

I said you know me
Alone, we're only
Just as good as the rest

Together we're the greatest
We'll never be left cold again
No fallin' all to pieces
We're the greatest
It's you and me until the end
Life for us is never over
Greatest
We'll never be left cold again
No fallin' all to pieces
We're the greatest
It's you and me until the end
Life for us is never over

Greatest (ooh)
Greatest (ooh)

Written All Over Your Face

Hey babe, it's written all over your face, say it
A hurricane behind the door
So I've come ready for a war

When you don't want coffee in the morning
I know I'm in a hole
It's hard enough to get you sober
Got no chance if I'm hungover
I ain't even woken up yet
Not nearly vertical
All know is I'm in trouble
'Cause atmosphere's so cold, so

Hey babe, it's written all over your face, say it
A hurricane behind the door
So I've come ready for a war

When I hear that thunder in the distance
I know it's getting close
You're giving me that silent treatment
Don't know what it's achieving
When we're finished saying nothing
Can we please get back to loving?
When it's good, it's really something
Can we please get back to us now?

Hey babe, it's written all over your face, say it
A hurricane behind the door
So I've come ready for a war
Hey babe, it's written all over your face, say it
So when you find out what we're fighting for
I'll be ready to talk

It's written all over your
It's written all over your face
It's written all over your
It's written all over your face

Bigger Than Me

When somebody told me I would change
I used to hide behind a smile
When somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I realized

I didn't read the signs
Walkin' different lines
I know I took a left
Tryna make it right
All of these voices, all of these choices
I don't hear them anymore
Hear them anymore

When somebody told me I would change
I used to hide behind a smile
When somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I realized

And it's bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep

It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

So, come on, call me a liar
Yeah, you're so quick to judge
'Cause, yeah, I might have changed
But everybody does

All of those voices, all of those choices
I don't hear them anymore
Hear them anymore

When somebody told me I would change
I used to hide behind a smile
When somebody told me I would change
I was afraid, I don't know why
'Cause so does the world outside, I realized

And it's bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

Do you ever ask why it's all black and white?
How do you sleep at night when you're just like me?
Ooh, 'cause I feel alive
Now I realize that the world outside

It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me
I've woken up from my sleep
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than me

Lucky Again

You give and give until it's gone away
Just tell yourself you've got another day
You've lived that life, you just don't see it yet
I see how hard you've worked to be yourself

If you believe that guy is Superman
They're selling tickets at the cinema
Whatever gets you through the darkest night
Just find the light
Out in the madness, hold tight

'Cause I'm a hard man to lose
But I figured it out then made my way back
To a life I would choose
We were lucky once, I could be lucky again

Before the world had got so serious
Before the time it got away from us
I meet you at the favorite subway stop
We grab some food then meet the lads for one

If you believe that guy is Superman
They're selling tickets at the cinema
Whatever gets you through the darkest night
Just find the light
Out in the madness, hold tight

'Cause I'm a hard man to lose
But I figured it out then made my way back
To a life I would choose
We were lucky once, could be lucky again

I'm a hard man to find
But you figured it out and I love you for that
Look back on a time
I was lucky once, I could be lucky again

'Cause I'm a hard man to lose
But I figured it out then made my way back
To a life I would choose
We were lucky once, could be lucky again

I'm a hard man to find
But you figured it out and I love you for that
Look back on a time
I was lucky once, I could be lucky again

Face the Music

Good and bad and right and wrong
A story's made up when we're young, to sketch
Love and hate are in between
Depends on your reality to see them
I just wanna stay in the moment the rest of my life

So one more night, I'm gonna choose
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
Let's buy some time
Oh, we shouldn't do
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
I still wanna dance with

Close your eyes and count to ten
If you're standin' on the edge of fallin'
Open up and lookin' down
Everything the night is is forgotten
I just wanna stay in the moment the rest of my life

So one more night, I'm gonna choose
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
Let's buy some time
Oh, we shouldn't do
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
I still wanna dance with

So one more night, I'm gonna choose
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
Let's buy some time
Oh, we shouldn't do
I don't wanna face the music
But I still wanna dance with you
I still wanna dance with

Chicago

I saw you had a baby
Did you use any of the names we liked?
And is your brother doing okay?
Is he still getting out of fights?
I'm sorry that your mum don't like me
I'm sorry that I brought that on myself

They say bitter ends turn sweet in time
Is that true of yours and mine?

'Cause if you're lonely in Chicago
You can call me baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be

Have you seen how my life's been going?
'Cause I've been wondering what you'd say
Would you have told me to keep going
Or would you say to walk away?
You always made me feel much better
And I'll always be grateful for that

They say bitter ends turn sweet in time
If that's true for yours and mine

And you feel lonely in Chicago
You can call me baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me

I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number
I bet that you didn't think that I'd remember
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be

It just wasn't meant to be
No, it just wasn't meant to be
It just wasn't meant to be

So if you're lonely in Chicago
You can call me baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me

Oh, I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number
I bet sometimes you still like to wear my jumper
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be

All This Time

(One, two)
(One, two, three, four)

It's late now
I'm tryna find the words to say for ages
Just have patience
It's not how you spend the time
It's if you waste it

And I keep on buildin' mountains
Hoping that they'll turn to gold
But the truth is, I still doubt the work
I do can get me home

When it gets cold
Know sometimes, sometimes I lose my hope

Our eyes meet
And I can tell that you're the same as me
It's the way we
It's the way we see ourselves through walls of trees

And you keep on buildin' mountains
Hoping that they'll turn to gold
But the truth is, you still doubt the work
You do can get you home

When it gets cold
Know sometimes, sometimes I lose your hope
But the friends we make, the love me take
It's worth, it's worth, it's worth the pain
The friends we make, the love it takes
It's worth, it's worth, it's worth it all this time
All this time, all this time
It's worth it all this time

Out of My System

Slowly, I never wanna go slowly
I only wanna go faster
Towards disaster every time
With me, I know you wanna come with me
Take anything you can carry
And leave everythin' else behind

I am only half of what
I think I can be

Gotta get it out of my system
Gotta get it off of my chest
I've lived a lot of my life already
But I gotta get through the rest

Demons, I'm takin' all of my demons
Putting them where I won't see them
'Cause I just wanna feel alive

I am only half of what
I think I can be

Gotta get it out of my system
Gotta get it off of my chest
I've lived a lot of my life already
But I gotta get through the rest

Gotta get it out of my system, system
Gotta get it out of my system

Gotta get it out of my system
Gotta get it out of my head
I've lived a lot of my life already
But I gotta get through the rest

Gotta get it out of my system, system
Gotta get it out of my system
Gotta get it out of my system, system
Gotta get it out of my system

Headline

Sometimes, I wake up and I hear you through the silence
You let your pride hide all your beauty and your kindness
So fast to judge in error, you thought you knew me better
So quick to kill forever

You used to read me like a headline
So many reasons now you're not mine
Maybe if you'd taken more time
I'd still be the one you wanna talk to every night, oh
If you got in my head
You wouldn't be scared of what you'd find
You used to read me like a headline
Oh, that's the reason now you're not mine anymore

You spent your summer working for your education
While I was running after dreams that kept us waiting
You never told me, never
Guess I never knew we'd have the shortest forever
Thought I could but I can't forget ya

You used to read me like a headline
So many reasons now you're not mine
Maybe if you'd taken more time
I'd still be the one you wanna talk to every night, oh
If you got in my head
You wouldn't be scared of what you'd find
You used to read me like a headline
Oh, that's the reason now you're not mine anymore

You used to read me like a headline
You used to read me like a headline

Sometimes, I wake up and I wish you were beside me

Saturdays

I'm not supposed to be
Feeling dirty cheap on Silver Street
A quarter to three
Hidden across my face
In the crowd I'm counting up the days in a haze
I'm gazing at the floor
Somebody's got your trainers on
The ones that you wore
When you walked out the door

I've been wondering about what you're up to
Not for the first time
Not for the last time
And I've been thinking 'bout the things we used to do
Not for the first time
Not for the last time

We always used to say
"Saturdays take the pain away"
Nobody stays the same
No matter how much you want it
Some things change
Some things change

Through my cigarette
A shadow of you sticks me to the carpet
Try to ignore it
Something about the way
The light catches the mirror in my brain
It gives me shade
I'm staring at the door
Somebody's got your trainers on
The ones that you wore
But you're not here anymore

I've been wondering about what you're up to
Not for the first time
Not for the last time
And I've been thinking 'bout the things we used to do
Not for the first time
Not for the last time

We always used to say
"Saturdays take the pain away"
Nobody stays the same
No matter how much you want it
Some things change
Some things change
Some things change
Some things change

My heart might be broken
But I won't be broken down
My heart might be broken
But I won't be broken down

We always used to say
"Saturdays take the pain away"
Nobody stays the same
No matter how much you want it
How much you want it

We always used to say
"Saturdays take the pain away"
Nobody stays the same
No matter how much you want it
Some things change

Silver Tongues

Gettin' high on the amber wave
Going deep for the ones who do the same
Air Max's and silver tongues
Settle in for another heavy one
Said love was a pretty lie
And I choked when your smoke got in my eye
Bad logic and empty cans
I know nobody understands me like you do

You know it's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those stupid jokes only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those songs we wrote, only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like goin' home

You said grass was a dirty drug
You like to preach with a vodka in your mug
I love all the things you know
But I'm king on a fifty meter road
We stand up tall and beat our chests
We shout some things that we'll regret
Sit down with a master plan
I know nobody understands me like you do

It's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those stupid jokes only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those songs we wrote, only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like goin' home

You and me until the end
Wakin' up to start again
You and me until the end
Wakin' up to start again
There's nowhere else that I would rather be

Because it's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those stupid jokes only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these
We'll remember those songs we wrote, only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like goin' home

She Is Beauty We Are World Class

Conversation as currency
Shapes become a language
Square eyes and sunglasses
Finding faces in the trees
Fabricated fairytales
Bring a new world to life
Sit down, sit down
In this space and time

She is beauty
And we are world class (ooh)
Forever
We'll let the feeling last

Escape the inevitable
Fade into light
So cold, their empathy
'Cause I'm with you tonight
Are we one or are we two?
Are we me or are we you?
Haven't been all this before
Do you see what I see?

She is beauty
And we are world class (oh)
Forever
We'll let the feeling last
She is beauty
And we are world class (oh)
Forever
We'll let the feeling last

Surrounded by lights
Surrounded by lights
Surrounded by lights
Surrounded by lights
Surrounded by lights
Surrounded by lights
Surrounded, surrounded
Surrounded, surrounded by

She is beauty
And we are world class (oh)
Forever
We'll let the feeling last
She is beauty
And we are world class (oh)
Forever
We'll let the feeling last

Are we one or are we two?
Are we me or are we you?
Haven't been all this before
Do you see what I see?

Common People

I came from a good home
A house full of terraced dreams
That was enough for me
You know, you had to see it to believe it

All the late nights, good times
The mistakes and the heartbreaks
When I get lost, I go back to where I started

Common people, nothing's changed (ooh)
You'll hear strangers singin' at night (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
Common people, not who you know (ooh)
Just how far you're willing to go (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us

I took her to the local
No deep pockets but big hearts
Do you see what I see?
Now we're all out screamin' on the dancefloor

All the late nights, and the good times
And the heartbreaks, the mistakes
When I get lost, I go back to where I started

Common people, nothing's changed (ooh)
You'll hear strangers singin' at night (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
Just act like you're one of us (ooh)
Common people, not who you know (ooh)
Just how far you're willing to go (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us

Common people, nothing's changed (ooh)
You'll hear strangers singin' at night (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
Just act like you're one of us (ooh)
Common people, not who you know (ooh)
Just how far you're willing to go (ooh)
If you act like you're one of us (ooh)
Just act like you're one of us (ooh)

Just act like you're one of us

Angels Fly

Nothing really matters
Nothing really hurts
We can't talk about it
It'll only make it worse

There's a time for saying who did what
Where it went wrong
I wanna hear all that, but right now
All I need you to know is

You'll be okay, we can talk tomorrow
I'm on my way with some time to borrow
If every star is an eye in the sky
You'll see angels fly (you'll see angels fly)
I'll knock on your door, it'll save me from calling
One single word, it could wait till the morning
If every star is an eye in the sky
You'll see angels fly

Look at the horizon
Just to make you feel small?
Put the pain in my heart till now
You don't need anymore

There's a time for saying who did what
Where it went wrong
I wanna hear all that, but right now
You know it's not where we're going
There were problems in this empty bottle
At the bottom, but we drained all that
So right now, all I need you to know is

You'll be okay, we can talk tomorrow
I'm on my way with some time to borrow
If every star is an eye in the sky
You'll see angels fly (you'll see angels fly)
I'll knock on your door, it'll save me from calling
One single word, it could wait till the morning
If every star is an eye in the sky
You'll see angels fly (you'll see angels fly)

Angels fly high
Angels fly
You'll see angels fly (you'll see angels fly)
Angels fly high
Angels fly
You'll see angels fly

Holding on to Heartache

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love

The wind, it held your soul, but
We knew that all would change
Creates the strangest feelin'
Just know they waitin' for the end
I still have dreams about it
The moment since they came
The moment's never shown towards
Because we faded into darkness

I can still hear a silence
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love
Holdin' onto heartache

The nights, the changin' seasons
Become the strangest days
I called you twice but then regretted it
And changed my number
The questions that I'm askin'
Where did it all go wrong?
There's endless versions of that thing
That keeps me driftin' back to darkness

I can still hear your silence
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love

You know the party's over
When you're standin' in an empty space alone
And time can always heal ya
If you let it make its way into your bones
Nothing's ever easy
To be honest, I'm not easy on myself
The second that I see ya
The space between us just comes floodin' back

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love

That's the Way Love Goes

Here are some words I know that you don't wanna hear
I think she's moved on mate, it's almost been a year
We haven't seen you here, we've given you your space
Pick up the phone 'cause now it's time you learnt to say

That's the way, that's the way love goes
That's the way, that's the way love goes

Remember when you told me I should give it time?
Well, there's the chance for you to take your own advice
We're goin' out to end up somewhere we'll regret
'Cause in this town it's easy to forget

That's the way, that's the way love goes
I guess that's the way, that's the way love goes
When it cuts you, when you bleed
That's when you're feelin' it the most
That's the way, that's the way love goes

Here are the words I know that you don't wanna hear
I think she's moved on mate, it's almost been a year
Not gonna ask you, but we'll make sure you're okay
Who cares, it's her loss anyway

That's the way, that's the way love goes
That's the way, that's the way love goes
When it cuts you, when you bleed
That's when you're feelin' it the most
That's the way, that's the way love goes

That's the way, that's the way love goes
That's the way, that's the way love goes
When it cuts you, when you bleed
That's when you're feelin' it the most
That's the way, that's the way love goes

That's the way, that's the way love goes
