[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
