One Direction is following up their hit “Live While We’re Young” with a power ballad!
The band has just released the lyric video for their new single “Little Things” and directioners are loving the emotional song.
The ballad was written by none other than Ed Sheeran and he recently told Capital FM about the song, “It’s got one of my favorite lines that I’ve ever written in a song. Harry says, ‘I know you never like the sound of your voice on tape and you never like to know how much you weigh and you still have to squeeze into your jeans, but you’re perfect to me.’ ”
So what is the song really about? Ed told MTV, “It was written about the best things about someone, kind of like the things you wouldn’t expect. You’ll have to hear it. I can’t really say too much ’cause it’s their album. I want them to be the first ones to announce it and stuff.”
It is definitely one sweet and beautiful song. Take a listen below! Lyrics inside…
One Direction – “Little Things” Lyrics
Your hand fits in mine
like it’s made just for me
but bear this in mind
it was meant to be
and I’m joining up the dots
with the freckles on your cheeks
and it all makes sense to me
I know you’ve never loved
the crinkles by your eyes
when you smile, you’ve never loved
your stomach or your thighs
the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
but I’ll love them endlessly
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if I do
it’s you
(oh it’s you)
they add up to.
I’m in love with you
and all these little things
You can’t go to bed
without a cup of tea
and maybe that’s the reason
that you talk in your sleep
and all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
though it makes no sense to me
I know you’ve never loved the sound of your voice on tape
you never want to know how much you weigh
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
but you’re perfect to me
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it’s true
it’s you
(oh it’s you)
they add up to.
I’m in love with you
and all these little things
You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you
you’ll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know I’m here for you
maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you
oh
I’ve just let these little things slip out of my mouth
cause it’s you
oh it’s you
it’s you they add up to
and I’m in love with you
and all these little things
I won’t let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it’s true
it’s you
(oh it’s you)
they add up to.
I’m in love with you
and all your little things
