Spaces
One D irection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's gonna be the first one to fall asleep at night?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?
We keep taking turns
Will we ever learn?
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Who's gonna be the first one to compromise?
Who's gonna be the first one to set it all on fire?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Forgetting every single promise we ever made?
Oh spaces between us
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
We keep taking turns
Will we ever learn?
When will we learn?
Oh spaces between us
Keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach you
Even though I try
Spaces between us
Hold all our secrets
Leaving us speechless
And I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Spaces between us
Spaces between us
The spaces between us
The spaces between us
The lyrics of One Direction's song Spaces describe the struggle of maintaining a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The song presents a series of questions that highlight the concerns of the singer regarding the state of their relationship. Who will be the first to give up? Who will be the first to compromise? Who will forget everything that they ever promised to each other? The lyrics reveal that the couple keeps taking turns, but they never learn from their mistakes. The spaces between them keep getting deeper and wider, making it harder for them to connect with each other. The secrets they keep and the unspoken words that exist between them have left them speechless, and they don't know why.
The song is essentially about the emotional distance that has developed between two people in a relationship. The "spaces between us" symbolize the emotional and physical distance that has developed over time, causing the singer to feel lost and disconnected from their partner. The lyrics in this song are powerful and emotive, drawing on the listener's own experiences of struggling to maintain a relationship that has lost its spark.
