PILLOWTALK
Zayn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow

I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
'Body but us, bodies together
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you

So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thin line

I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
'Body but us, bodies together
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you

So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone

So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on




It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone

Adele:hello its me
zayn:hey whats up its been awhile
adele: I was wondering If after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything.
Zayn: fucking and fighting?
Adele: I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Zayn:its youuuuuuuuuuuu

Zayn's vocals have been rated as A-List, among the elite singers in the music industry. His vocal talent really shows in this acoustic version.

@xsh_5599

+Razor Edge I KNOWWW

@lauramohan357

+Razor Edge it sure does

@RazorEdge2006

Rohan Thakrar

The vocal ratings are A-List for Tori Kelly, Star-List for Beyonce, and B-List for Ed Sheeran. In other words, Zayn's A-List vocals are just as good as Tori Kelly and better than Ed Sheeran, but not as great as Beyonce.

@charliemae1996

+Dafu_q wid_ (you) Zayn < Ed Sheeran, I like Zayn but Ed Sheeran is way better especially at acoustics.

@RazorEdge2006

Brittney Epple

Ed Sheeran's vocals are rated as B-List, whereas Zayn's vocals are rated as A-List, so Zayn is clearly the superior vocalist. According to music experts, Zayn is technicallyย one of the most talented male vocalists in pop music today.
