Drag Me Down
One Direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason

If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left
The shell of a man that could never be his best
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down

Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down

I got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby, you're a boat
Baby, you're my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (nothing left)
The shell of a man who could never be his best (be his best)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (see the sun)
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down

Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me

All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
All my life, you stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights, they can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down

Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down (yeah)
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down

I've got fire for a heart
胸の中で熱い闘志が燃えているんだ
I'm not scared of the dark
だからたとえ暗闇でも怖くないんだ
You've never seen it look so easy
それを君に悟られないようにしてる
I got a river for a soul
俺の魂には川が流れてるんだ
And baby you're a boat
そして君がボートで泳いでる
Baby you're my only reason
ベイビー、僕には君しかいないんだ

If I didn't have you there
もし君がいなかったら
would be nothing left
僕は何も成し得なかっただろう
The shell of a man who could never be his best
まるで何の感情もないような抜け殻みたいに
If I didn't have you
もし君がいなかったら
I'd never see the sun
僕の心に光は差さなかっただろう
You taught me how to be someone, yeah
君が、僕の存在意義を教えてくれたのさ

[♪]
All my life
いつでも
You stood by me
君が傍にいてくれた
When no one else was ever behind me
たとえ誰も僕に味方してくれない時でも
All these lights
いくら光を集めたとしても
They can't blind me
僕の目にその光は映らない
With your love
でも君が愛してくれたら
nobody can drag me down
もう誰にも負けないよ

[♪] repeat

Nobody, nobody
誰一人として
Nobody can drag me down
僕を打ちのめせない
Nobody, nobody
きっと誰も
Nobody can drag me down
僕に打ち勝つことはできない
