Long Way Down is the seventh track from One Direction's album Made in the A.M..

Critical Reception[]

Digital Spy writer Lewis Corner stated: "One Direction replicate the sound they achieved on last year's Four here with its silky, '70s-style harmonies and dreamy mid-tempo refrain. "We had it all, and we walked away," they reflect, speaking to a former flame. "We built it up so high and now I'm falling, it's a long way down." It's the band's melancholic moment and it'll leave you wondering just who they're struggling to forgive." [1]

Lyrics[]

[Niall]
We made a fire
Went down in the flames
We sailed an ocean
And drowned in a wave
Built a cathedral
But we never prayed
We had it all, yeah
And we walked away

[Harry]
Point of no return
And now it's just too late to turn around
I try to forgive you,
But I struggle 'cause I don't know how
We built it up so high and now I'm fallin'
It's a long way down
It's a long way down from here

[Louis]
We had a mountain
But took it for granted
We had a spaceship,
But we couldn't land it
We found an island,
But we got stranded
We had it all, yeah
Who could've planned it?

[Liam]
Point of no return
And now it's just too late to turn around
I try to forgive you,
But I'm struggling 'cause I don't know how
We built it up so high and now I'm fallin'
It's a long way down from here
Such a long way down from here
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
Such a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
