Ready To Run
Direction One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then there's me inside a sinking boat, running out of time
Without you I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes I know we'll be alright
There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me
And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed
There's a moment when you finally realize
But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine
This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
There's a future in my life I can't foresee
Unless of course I stay on course
And keep you next to me
There will always be the kind that criticize
But I know, yes I know we'll be alright
This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
This time I'm ready to run (ready to run)
I'd give everything that I got for your love
This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh)
Escape from the city and follow the sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (this time I'm ready to run) (oh-oh)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free
And I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run

ATTENTION CALLING ALL DIRECTIONERS
As you all know, the 11 year anniversary is coming up on the 23rd of next July. But we have some projects we must complete before then. Those targets are as follows;
1) Even though songs like More than this, best song ever, etc, have hundreds of millions of views, it's still not what they deserve. We have decided to stream the song on July 22nd, the day before the 11 year anniversary to get the song to charts. Maybe we have to start streaming a little bit beforehand, but still. We need to stream the song on every possible platform; YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon music etc.
If this is the same group of people who sold FNB stadium within a minute, then why can't we do this?
2) This was planned a year ago, but this time we can easily do this. The second project is to stream drag me down, which as we can see is so close to 1 billion views, but, story of my life isn't, so we will stream story of my life on July 18th (The last Sunday before the anniversary) and make the masterpiece number 1 on that day.
I think none of the above are difficult tasks, but that's only if we spread the words. So kindly spread the words.
Copy and paste this, guys, believe me we can do it! I know we kinda planned it last time and fell short, but we can do it if we try harder!

There’s a circus of directioners I can’t deny
And there’s us listening to the boys, clowning all the time
Without 1D we’ll never make it out alive,
And I know, yes I know, we won’t be alright
There’s a clown inside my circus chasing me
And every time I clown again, they’re only gaining speed
There’s a moment when I finally realize
There’s no way to escape the clown inside
But I know, yes I know i’ll be fine
This time i’m ready to clown (OHH)
Escape from the drama and follow the sun
Cause I wanna have Lou
And I wanna have Haz
To be able to love and laugh together again
This time i’m ready to clown (OHH)
Wherever clowns are is the place I belong
‘Cause I wanna believe
And we’re all singing songs
I’ll never look back now, I’m ready to clown
There might be a reunion we can’t foresee
Unless we clown and clown again
Please keep us with 1D
There will always be the kind that criticize
But I know, yes I know, we’ll be alright
This time i’m ready to clown (OHH)
Escape from the drama and follow the sun
Cause we wanna have Lou
And we wanna have Haz
To be able to love and laugh together again
This time i’m ready to clown (OHH)
Wherever clowns are is the place I belong
‘Cause we wanna believe
And we’re all singing songs
I’ll never look back now, I’m ready to clown
This time I’m ready to clowwwwnn
I’ll give everything I got for some hoooopee
This time i’m ready to clown
Escape from the drama and follow the sun
Cause we wanna have Lou
And we wanna have Haz
To be able to love and laugh together again
This time i’m ready to clown (OHH)
Wherever clowns are is the place I belong
‘Cause I wanna believe
And we’re all singing songs
I’ll never look back now, I’m ready to clown
edit: I forgot to say I found the first verse and chorus thru twitter but I wanted to do the whole song 😂 so I tweaked it a bit
