[Verse 1]
Oh no, get ready
I feel it coming, it's coming again
I stay close, hold steady
'Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end
Those brown eyes, crying in a crowded bar
Every time we get this close
It's always pulling us apart

[Chorus]
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
I just want a safe place to hide us away
So don't let the tide come and take me
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
Far from with you, where I wanna stay
So don't let the tide come and take me

[Verse 2]
Oh no, get ready
I feel it coming, it's coming again
Don't give up, and don't let me
'Cause I'm needing you to understand
When I go, all I ever seem to fear
Is that you're gonna find someone
And slowly watch me disappear

[Chorus]
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
I just want a safe place to hide us away
So don't let the tide come and take me
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
Far from with you, where I wanna stay
So don't let the tide come and take me

[Bridge]
Oh no, get ready
Yeah, I feel it coming, it's coming again
Stay close and hold steady
'Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end
No, no, I don't want it, don't want it to end

[Chorus]
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
I just want a safe place to hide us away
So don't let the tide come and take me
Don't let the tide come and wash us away
Don't let the tide come and take me
Far from with you, where I wanna stay
So don't let the tide come and take me

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.
