[Verse 1: Liam & Niall]
Am I asleep, am I awake or somewhere in between?
I can't believe that you are here and lying next to me
Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught on a vine
Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this
I'm just the underdog who finally got the girl
And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world

[Chorus: Harry, Louis, Harry & Louis]
Truly, madly, deeply I am, foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So, baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you, in love with you

[Verse 2: Liam & Zayn]
Should I put coffee and granola on a tray in bed
And wake you up with all the words that I still haven't said?
And tender touches just to show you how I feel
Or should I act so cool, like it was no big deal?
Wish I could freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this
I'll put this day back on replay and keep reliving it
'Cause here’s the tragic truth, if you don't feel the same
My heart would fall apart if someone said your name

[Chorus: All]
And truly, madly, deeply I am, foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So, baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you

[Bridge: Louis & Louis, Niall]
I hope I'm not a casualty
I hope you won't get up and leave
Might not mean that much to you
But to me it's everything, everything

[Chorus: Zayn, Louis & All]
Truly, madly, deeply I am, foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So, baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you, in love with you
In love with you, in love with you, with you

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.
