  • There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there's me inside a sinking boat, running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes I know we'll be alright

    There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me
    And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed
    There's a moment when you finally realize
    There's no way you can change the rolling tide
    But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine

    This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
    Escape from the city and follow the sun
    'Cause I wanna be yours
    Don't you wanna be mine?
    I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
    This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
    Wherever you are is the place I belong
    'Cause I wanna be free
    And I wanna be young
    I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
    I'm ready to run

    There's a future in my life I can't foresee
    Unless of course I stay on course
    And keep you next to me
    There will always be the kind that criticize
    But I know, yes I know we'll be alright

    This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
    Escape from the city and follow the sun
    'Cause I wanna be yours
    Don't you wanna be mine?
    I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
    This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
    Wherever you are is the place I belong
    'Cause I wanna be free
    And I wanna be young
    I will never look back, now I'm ready to run

    This time I'm ready to run (ready to run)
    I'd give everything that I got for your love

    This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
    Escape from the city and follow the sun
    'Cause I wanna be yours
    Don't you wanna be mine?
    I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
    This time I'm ready to run (this time I'm ready to run) (oh-oh)
    Wherever you are is the place I belong
    'Cause I wanna be free
    And I wanna be young
    I will never look back, now I'm ready to run Writer/s: Jamie Scott, John Henry Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Liam James Payne, Louis William Tomlinson
