[Verse 1: Niall]
I'm like a crow on a wire
You're the shining distraction that makes me fly home
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind, oh, every time

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
But I know in my heart
You're not a constant star

[Chorus: Harry & All]
And yeah, I let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet, falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold

[Verse 2: Liam]
I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty, and I can't see two feet in front of me

[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
And I know in my heart
You're just a moving part

[Chorus: All]
And yeah, I let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet, falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold, oh

[Bridge: Zayn]
Yeah, I know your love's not real
That's not the way it feels, that's not the way you feel

[Chorus: All]
And yes, I let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet, falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold

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.
