Niall Horan - The Show Lyrics






Heaven

(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)

Strange light revolves around you
You float across the room
Your touch is made of something
Heaven can't hold a candle too
You're made of somethin' new

Let's not get complicated
Let's just enjoy the view
It's hard to be a human
So much to put an answer to
But that's just what we do

God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow outta control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same

I'm havin' revelations
You dance across the floor
Beyond infatuation
How I obsessively adore you
That's what I do

I believe, I believe, I could die in your kiss
No, it doesn't get, doesn't get better than this

God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow outta control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same

God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow outta control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same

Heaven won't be the same

I believe, I believe, I could die in your kiss
No, it doesn't get, doesn't get better than, better than this

God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow outta control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same

God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow outta control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same

If You Leave Me

(Do it)
(Yeah, yeah)

Met you in a dream
Chased you through the street
Turned around and you were gone
Woke up in a daze
Moonlight on your face
My heart was racing at the thought

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencing me to a life on my knees
Don't know who I would be

If you ever leave
If you ever leave

I'm in too deep
Swimming in your sea
Tell me where you want to go
I don't wanna change
Have it any other way
Promise that you'll stay this close

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencing me to a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be

If you ever leave
If you ever leave

Waking up with you gone in the mornin'
Goin' to sleep with you not here at night
Oh, these feelings they would just be so foreign
Can't you stay for the rest of my life?

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
And if you leave me (if you leave me)
Hope you know that you're sentencing me to a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be (don't know who I would be)

If you ever leave (if you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (if you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (if you ever)

If you ever, you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever, you ever

Meltdown

When it all melts down I'll be there

Talkin' to yourself in the bathroom
Losin' your mind in the mirror like you have to
Ooh

Screamin' in your car in the driveway
Spinnin' out think your life's going sideways
Ooh

One broken glass turns to total collapse
Just know this too shall pass
I'm tellin' you now, tellin' you now

Woo
When it all melts down I'll be there
Woo, woo
When it all melts down I'll be there
I'm tellin' you now, tellin' you now

Sleep is so thin, outta habit
Hard to tell the real from the dreams you imagine
Ooh

Nights when one broken glass turns to total collapse
Just know this too shall pass
I'm tellin' you now, tellin' you now

Woo
When it all melts down I'll be there
When it all melts down (woo)
When it all melts down now (woo)
When it all melts down I'll be there
I'm tellin' you now, tellin' you now

When there's wolves on your track (wolves on your track)
Catchin' up fast (catchin' up fast)
Baby, don't you look back (don't you look back)
Don't you look back (baby, don't you look back)
When you're hittin' a wall (hittin' a wall)
And every star falls (every star falls)
Don't you worry at all

Woo
When it all melts down I'll be there
When it all melts down (woo)
When it all melts down now (woo)
When it all melts down I'll be there
I'm tellin' you now, tellin' you now

Never Grow Up

Never, never, never
Never grow up
Never, never, never
Never grow up (never grow up)
Never, never, never
Never grow up
(La-la-la-la-la-la)

Never wanna be like them
Talkin' over coffee, but we sayin nothin'
Both of us forgettin' how we once were friends
In another life, mm
I never wanna go to sleep
Feelin' like an ocean's in between our sheets
Staring at the ceiling with your back to me
Turnin' out the lights

I hope we still dance like we're fallin' in love
Hope we still drink like we're back in the pub
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up
Hope we still fight over bands that we love
Hope we still cry 'cause we're laughin' too much
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up
We never grow up

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la-la)

I think that we could be like that
Every single Sunday in our Sunday best
Laughin' over nothin' with a full wine glass
While I look in her eyes, mm
Oh, when I'm with you, yeah, it all makes sense
Never givin' up on our innocence
Every single night's on fire when we're turnin' out the lights

I hope we still dance like we're fallin' in love
Hope we still drink like we're back in the pub
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up
Hope we still fight over bands that we love
Hope we still cry 'cause we're laughin' too much
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up
Yeah, we never grow up

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la-la)

Hope we still dance like we're fallin' in love
Hope we still drink like we're back in the pub
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up, mm
Hope we still fight over bands that we love (bands that we love)
Hope we still cry 'cause we're laughin' too much (laughin' too much)
Hope we grow old, but we never grow up (yeah, we never grow)
And, yeah, we never grow up

La-la-la, la-la-la (yeah, we never, ever, ever grow up)
La-la-la (yeah, we never, ever, ever grow up)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la-la)

Never, never, never
Never grow up
Never, never, never
Never grow up (never grow up)
Never, never, never

The Show

Life is like a board game some of the time
Mistakes and heartbreaks are no crime
But there's a light creepin' through under broken skies
Got plans? Better hurry 'cause time flies

Hold tight, get ready for the ride

If everythin' was easy, nothing ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it though? Mm

Life is like a dance floor some of the time
(Life is like a dance floor some of the time, mm)
Dancin' with the stars, oh, every night
And gravity comes and wraps her arms around you again
It's all fun and games until the party ends

Hold tight, get ready for the ride

If everythin' was easy, nothing ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it though?

Looking at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the (lights)
Looking at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the lights, ooh

We're still not ready for the ride

If everythin' was easy, nothing ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
Oh, if everything was easy, nothing ever broke
If everything was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we had it though?

How good we had it though?
So hold tight, get ready for the ride

You Could Start A Cult

Darlin', I will give up everything
Who I'll be and who I am
You can have it all
Baby, you could start a cult, you see
Anywhere you go, I'll be
You are so much more than beautiful to me

Oh, I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you

Swear you, you could start a war or two
Kingdoms fightin' over you
To wake up by your side is all I wanna do

Oh, I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you 'til there's no tomorrow
I'll follow you

Baby, you could start a cult, you see
They will say that we're crazy
But you are so much more than beautiful to me

Save My Life

Eyes are bloomin'
The floor is shakin'
Walls are movin'
Feelings changin' now

So, I'm rolling through it
Like I'm floatin' ten feet above the ground
As you float up to me
I just gotta tell you now

Ever since you walked in
I'm seein' a new light
Ever since you walked in
It's startin' to feel like
You might save my life

You might save my life
I've been dyin' for you, darlin'

And it gives me shelter
But leaves me open
Something interstellar
Where my mind is goin' now

Got me on the ceiling
When you say my name, I like the way it sounds
I'm afraid to feel it
But I just gotta tell you now

Ever since you walked in
I'm seein' a new light
Ever since you walked in
It's startin' to feel like
You might save my life

You might save my life
I've been dyin' for you, darlin'

You might, you might save my life
You might, you might save my life
You might, you might save my life
Save my, save my, save my, save my
(Woo, yeah)
You might, you might save my life
You might, you might save my life
You might, you might save my life
Save my, save my, save my, save my

Ever since you walked in
I'm seein' a new light
Ever since you walked in (walked in)
It's startin' to feel like
You might save my life

You might, you might
You might save my life
I've been dyin' for you, darlin'

On a Night Like Tonight

Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Fallin' like rain, ripplin' on by
Supermoon watch it dance in your eyes
My wildest of dreams, takin' on a new life

If it's this good way down here
Then what's it like up there high in heaven?

On a night like tonight
Are we just two stars passin' by?
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
On a night like tonight

Yeah
Yeah

Innocent kisses, now our hearts on fire
Got me so high, walkin' on a wire, yeah
Baby, you, baby, you blow my mind
Tell me anything you like, except for goodbye

If it's this good way down here
Then what's it like up there high in heaven?

On a night like tonight
(On a night, on a night, on a night)
Are we just two stars passin' by?
(Passin' by, passin' by, passin' by)
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
On a night like tonight
(On a night, on a night, on a night)

Yeah
Yeah

Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Pressed on mine, pressed on mine
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
(On a night, on a night, on a night)
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Pressed on mine, pressed on mine
(Passin' by, passin' by, passin' by)

Science

Can you feel what's beneath?
Is it stone cold under your feet?
Are you numb? Can you touch?
Is the silence a little too much?

And all you wanna do is break out

So, when you feel there's nothin' left
Oh, there's still a heart beatin' in your chest
And when you're runnin' from the flood
Oh, you've got nowhere left to run

It's just science
Don't let it break you down

You can dance on your own
It's okay, 'cause you're not alone
You can hide, you will love
You'll have your days in the sun

But all you wanna do is break out

So, when you feel there's nothin' left
Oh, there's still a heart beatin' in your chest
And when you're runnin' from the flood
Oh, you've got nowhere left to run

Oh, when you feel you're sinkin'
Overthinkin', time is crashin' down
Oh, if you need somebody
The world is too heavy to shine
It's not too late now

It's just science (don't let it break you)
Don't let it break you down (don't let it break you down)
Mm, it's just science (don't let it scare you)
Don't let it scare you now

Must Be Love

I'm a specialist at overthinkin' everything
I'll tell you all about it if you have the time
I've become a mastermind at goin' and vanishing
Until I feel as empty as this bottle of wine

Oh, if I'm being honest, I find it so hard
To just keep it simple and follow my heart

But if it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like love
Then it must be love

I got a first degree in being my worst enemy
I got a PhD in always runnin' away

And if I'm being honest, it scares me to death
I'm trying to stop it, I'm trying my best

But if it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like love
Then it must be love
Yeah, it must be love
Yeah, it must be love

Oh, if I'm being honest, I find it so hard
To just keep it simple and follow my heart

But if it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love
If it feels like love
Then it must be love

It must be love (if it feels like love)
It must be love (if it feels like love)
It must be love (if it feels like love)
Then it must be love
