“What a Feeling”
By One Direction
Through the wire
I'm watching her dance
Dress is catching the light
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies
There's no question
She's not in a disguise
With no way out
And a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you
Too close now
Through the wire
Chorus
What a feeling to be right here
Beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out
And we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars
They’re in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you
Somehow I wish I could be there now
Through the wire
I'm watching you like this
Imagining you're mine
It's too late, too late
Am I too late
Tell me now
Am I running out of time
(Chorus)
Whatever chain is holding you back
Holding you back
Don't let them tie you down
Whatever change is holding you back
Holding you back
Tell me you believe in that
(Chorus)
I wish I could be there now
