This Town
Niall Horan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow runnin' 'round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
If the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met, he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's somethin' 'bout you
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
Everything comes back to you, mm

The chorus expresses the yearning to be reunited with the lost love, despite the fact that they have moved on to a new relationship. The narrator has vivid memories of their childhood and the time they spent together, wishing that he was there with the person he loves. He acknowledges that he knows he should move on, but he can't shake the feelings he has for his former love.
The haunting melody and mournful lyrics of "This Town" create a mood of nostalgia and wistfulness. It's a beautifully crafted song that captures the complexity of emotions that come with heartbreak.

I yearn to share with you all the things I never had the chance to say when we were together.

In the pub that we met, he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard
I saw that you have found someone else and it hurts me deeply to see him holding you in the same pub where we met, making it harder for me to let go.
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
Even now, when I see you, I still feel anxious and excited. The butterflies in my stomach come alive, reminding me that everything always leads back to you.
And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's somethin' 'bout you
I am aware that it is not right and healthy to hold onto these feelings, but there is something about you that keeps me from letting go.
Everything comes back to you, mm
No matter how hard I try to forget or move on, everything always leads back to you, and you remain a constant presence in my heart and mind.
