[Verse 1]
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider …
[Verse 1]
I rest my case sophisticated
Reckless like I promised
And I had it, then I managed
And you talked me through it
Baby, do it
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you saved me
Then you made me rich and …
[Chorus: Q-Tip & Cordae]
When I think it’s all she wrote, looking through my holy quotes
Looking for the antidote, and I think I’ve found that it’s life
Life, my nigga, it’s life, …
[Intro]
Yeah, uh
Hey, yo
Alright
[Verse 1]
My mom had a nigga at the age of fifteen
Was forced to drop out of school to take care of a king
She had a desire to sing …
[Intro]
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m older
[Verse 1]
Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex
I was holding on for dear life
Complicated, understated, …
I got a heart
And I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both43
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know44
Baby, I don’t want to feel alone45
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks46
A long way from the playground47
I have loved you since we were 1848
Long before we both thought the same thing:
To be loved and to be in love49
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you50
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 1851
We took a chance52
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we’d be fine
So pour me a drink, oh, love,
Let’s split the night wide open53 and we’ll see everything
We can livin’ love in slow motion,54 motion, motion
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing:
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
When we were 18
Oh, Lord, when we were 1855
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 1856
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
To use both a heart and a soul means to give the whole of one’s self to a relationship.
A “false start” is a football term used here to describe how the romantic relationship began prematurely when they were still young.
One Direction, singing from the perspective of the male in this relationship, says the relationship should continue even though it’s not “picture perfect.”
This physical description describes a scene in which two people were experiencing “young love.”
The reference to a playground further indicates that the parties involved in this relationship were young.
Love at the age of 18 is highly emotional. To begin a serious long-term relationship at that age is not easy, because young people haven’t had serious responsibilities yet in life.
“To be loved and to be in love” refers to a healthy relationship in which love is reciprocated.
One Direction claims that the relationship was “meant to be.”
When people get older, they start focusing on more practical and serious matters. They take on responsibilities, and often the emotional and intimate side of love is forgotten.
That is, a chance at starting a serious relationship at a young age.
“Let’s split the night wide open” is another way of saying “let’s take on the world together.”
Living life in slow motion refers to the feeling one has when he or she is completely in love and every moment feels meaningful.
The man continues to recall the early years of the relationship fondly.
The man wants to feel the strongly emotional side of love again, just as he did in his youth.
