[Verse 1: Liam & Zayn]
One day you'll come into my world and say it all
You'll say we'll be together even when you're lost
One day you'll say these words I've thought but never said
You'll say we're better off together in our bed

[Chorus: Harry]
I want you here with me like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
Come on, jump out at me, come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?

[Verse 2: Niall & Harry]
The script was written and I could not change a thing
I want to rip it all to shreds and start again
One day I'll come into your world and get it right
I'll say we're better off together here tonight

[Chorus: Harry & Zayn]
I want you here with me like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
Come on, jump out at me, come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?
I want you here with me like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
Come on, jump out at me, come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?
I want you here with me like how I pictured it
Is it too much to ask for something great?

[Outro: Louis]
You're all I want
So much it's hurting
You're all I want
So much it's hurting

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
