[Intro: All]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1: Harry, Liam]

There's a lightnin' in your eyes, I can't deny

Then there's me inside a sinking boat, runnin' 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 realise

There's no way you can change the rolling tide

But I know, yes, I know that I'll be fine

[Chorus: All]

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

[Post-Chorus: All, Harry]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm ready to run

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: Niall, Louis]

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

[Chorus: All]

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

[Bridge: Zayn, All]

This time, I'm ready to run (Ready to run)

I'd give everything that I've got for your love

[Chorus: Harry, All, Zayn]

This time, I'm ready to run

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
