[Verse 1]
Moon shining, sun rising
You're the one I want to wake up to
Lights fading, I'm changing
Overthinking, I don't know what to do

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna kiss you like the first time
Hold you like it's not goodbye
Wish I hadn't been so cruel
I wanna let all my defenses down
Scream until you hear me out
I'll lay it on the line for you

[Chorus]
My mind's made up
Take me back, take me back
To San Francisco
I know what we had would never last
Now I can't let go of you
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
Say I'm done runnin' from the one that I want so bad
Take me back, take me back

[Verse 2]
Drunk dialin', full dive in
Don't you tell me that it's too late now
'Cause I'm pacing, I keep breaking
Is there a way to make it up somehow?

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna kiss you like the first time
Hold you like it's not goodbye
Before you fall for somebody new
I wanna let all my defences down
Scream until you hear me out
I know that I'll be good to you

[Chorus]
My mind's made up
Take me back, take me back
To San Francisco
I know what we had would never last
Now I can't let go of you
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
Say I'm done runnin' from the one that I want so bad
Take me back, take me back

[Bridge]
My mind's made up, up, up, up, up
My mind's made up

[Chorus]
And take me back, take me back
To San Francisco
I know what we had could never last
Now I can't let go of you
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
Say I'm done runnin' from the one that I want so bad
Take me back, take me back

[Outro]
And take me back, take me back
And take me back, take me back
Oh

Niall Horan

Niall James Horan (born September 13th, 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and founder of Modest! Golf Management company. He auditioned on The X Factor at 16 years of age as a solo act and he came to worldwide prominence when he and four other boys were joined together to form pop boy band One Direction, which became one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Since the band’s hiatus in 2015, Horan has released two solo albums, has collaborated with the likes of Maren Morris, Julia Michaels and Ashe and has created a track for animated comedy film Smallfoot.

In September 2016, it was revealed that Niall had signed a solo contract with Capitol Records.

Following this news, Horan released his debut solo single “This Town”, becoming the first One Direction member to release solo music. “This Town” showcases his songwriting skills and vocals, as Horan strips everything down to him and his guitar. In support of the single, he also uploaded a one-take acoustic version of the single. The song peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on January 14th, 2017.
