Truly Madly Deeply
One Direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I asleep, am I awake, or somewhere in between?
I can't believe that you are here and lying next to me
Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught on a vine?

Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this
I'm just the underdog who finally got the girl
And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world

Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you
In love with you

Should I put coffee and granola on a tray in bed
And wake you up with all the words that I still haven't said?
And tender touches, just to show you how I feel
Or should I act so cool like it was no big deal?

Wish I could freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this
I'll put this day back on replay and keep reliving it
'Cause here's the tragic truth if you don't feel the same
My heart would fall apart if someone said your name

And truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you

I hope I'm not a casualty
I hope you won't get up and leave
May not mean that much to you
But to me it's everything, everything

Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy deeply in love (in love) with you (with you)
In love (in love) with you (with you)




In love (in love) with you (with you)
With you, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Truly Madly Deeply" by One Direction speak to the breathtaking feeling of being in love with someone. The singer is almost in disbelief that the person they adore is lying next to them, and they wonder if it's all just a dream. They describe their love as intertwined like the branches of a tree or twigs on a vine. The singer describes how they have dreamed of being with this person, and they feel like an underdog who has finally won the girl. They're not ashamed to tell anyone how they feel.


The singer lists all of the things they could do for their love, from bringing breakfast in bed to giving tender touches to show how they feel. They wish they could freeze the moment they're in and relive it again and again. However, there's also a hint of fear here - they're worried that their love might not be reciprocated. Their heart would fall apart if someone even said their love's name, let alone if they left. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer is falling completely in love and hopes their love will always keep them truly madly deeply in love with them.


The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the heady rush of being utterly enamored with someone, and how that feeling can be both wonderful and terrifying. The simple, catchy melody underscores the passion of the lyrics, making it a powerful love song.

Letra/ Lyrics:
Am I asleep, am I awake, or somewhere in between?
I can’t believe that you are here and lying next to me
Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught on a vine?
Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this,
I’m just the underdog who finally got the girl
And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world
Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you’ll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you
In love with you

Should I put coffee and granola on a tray in bed
And wake you up with all the words that I still haven’t said?
And tender touches, just to show you how I feel
Or should I act so cool like it was no big deal?
Wish I could freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this
I’ll put this day back on replay and keep reliving it
‘Cause here’s the tragic truth if you don’t feel the same
My heart would fall apart if someone said your name
And truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you’ll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you
I hope I’m not a casualty,
I hope you won’t get up and leave
May not mean that much to you
But to me it’s everything, everything
Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you kicked all my walls in
So baby, say you’ll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy deeply in love (in love) with you (with you),
In love (in love) with you (with you)
In love (in love) with you (with you)
With you, oh!
