Critical Reception
Edit
ANDPOP writer Evan Ross stated: "This song slows the album right down, and is just the kind of song that you would expect to hear on a One Direction album (it written by Ed Sheeran). It’s not a bad song, it’s just a little weaker than the more mature sounding tracks on this album. But give me a few listens, I’m sure I’ll be humming this non-stop." [1]
Lyrics
Edit
[Harry]
I got a heart
And I got a soul
Believe me I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
[Zayn]
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
[Harry]
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
[Niall]
We took a chance/chonce
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we’d be fine
[Liam]
So pour me a drink, oh, love,
Let's split the night wide open and we'll see everything
We can livin' love in slow motion, motion, motion
[Zayn]
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
[All]
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
[Niall]
When we were 18
Oh lord, when we were 18
[Zayn]
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands press to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
[Louis]
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
[Harry]
To be loved and to be in love
[All]
And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
[Niall]
I want a love like you made me feel
[Harry]
When we were 18
