Spaces
One Direction (FOUR) 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 to "Spaces" by One Direction explore the distance that can grow between two people, whether it be physical or emotional. The repeated question of "who's gonna be" emphasizes the uncertainty and fear that comes with the unknown of growing apart. The song questions whether the individuals involved will be the ones to start a fight, to fall asleep first, to compromise, to say goodbye, or to forget the memories they shared. The lyrics suggest that the spaces between them are growing deeper and it's becoming harder to connect, leaving both parties speechless and unsure of why things are changing.
The chorus highlights the idea that the spaces between them hold all of their secrets and make it difficult to reach each other. The use of the word "speechless" implies that there are no words to describe the distance between them, leaving them feeling lost in the void. The bridge repeats the question "when will we learn?" suggesting that they keep making the same mistakes and not improving the way they connect with one another.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the relationships we have and the fear of them growing apart. It explores the reality that sometimes distances can grow beyond repair and we may never truly know why.
