Singer: One Direction

    Written in these walls are the stories that I can’t explain

    I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

    She told me in the morning she don’t feel the same about us in her bones

    It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

    And I’ll be gone gone tonight

    The ground beneath my feet is open wide

    The way that I been holdin’ on too tight

    With nothing in between

    The story of my life I take her home

    I drive all night to keep her warm and time

    Is frozen

    The story of my life I give her hope

    I spend her love until she’s broke inside

    The story of my life

    Written on these walls are the colors that I can’t change

    Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

    I know that in the morning now, I’ll see us in the light upon a hill

    Although I am broken my heart is untamed stillx

    And I’ll be gone gone tonight

    The fire beneath my feet is burning bright

    The way that I been holdin’ on so tight

    With nothing in between

    ...

    And I been waiting for this time to come around

    But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

    ...

    Background

    A track from One Direction’s upcoming third album “Midnight Memories,” this song is a little bit folk-pop, but mostly a dreamy ballad. It’s a nice change from “Best Song Ever,” which acted as the leading single, although the boys are at their best when they can jump around like bunnies while performing their tracks. Anyway, this is a nice, elegant and workable go at a sub-genre, making for some catch-your-breath-easy listening within the new album.
