This Town
horan niall Lyrics

Wakin' up to kiss you and nobody's there
Opening line of the song describing the feeling of waking up alone and missing the presence of someone special who is no longer there, a feeling of emptiness and longing for that person.

The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
The lingering scent of the person's perfume is a constant reminder of their presence, even when they are not physically there.

'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Expressing how much the person means to them, that they would be willing to do anything for them, even if it meant dancing in front of the whole world to show their love and dedication.

Drive highways and byways to be there with you
The person is willing to go to great lengths and make sacrifices in order to be with the one they love, including traveling long distances to see them.

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Even though time has passed and things have changed, the person still feels nervous and excited when they see the one they love, indicating that their feelings are still strong.

Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
The feeling of butterflies in the stomach is a sign of excitement and anticipation, and being next to the person they love brings those feelings back to life.

Over and over, the only truth
This line is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the fact that no matter what happens or how much time passes, the person will always feel the same way and be drawn back to the one they love.

And I wanna tell you everything
Desire to express one's feelings and thoughts to the person they love, feeling the need to communicate openly and honestly with them.

The words I never got to say the first time around
Regret for not expressing one's feelings fully and completely in the past, wishing for the chance to do so now.

And I remember everything
Memories of the past with the person they love are still vivid and strong, a reminder of the good times they shared together.

From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Recollection of a time when things were simpler and carefree, a symbol of the innocent love that once existed between them.

Wish I was there with you now
Longing to be with the person they love in the present moment, and feeling the absence of their company.

I saw that you moved on with someone new
Realization that the person they love has moved on and is now with someone else, a difficult truth to accept.

In the pub that we met, he's got his arms around you
A visual image of the person they love with someone else, a painful reminder of what they have lost.

It's so hard
A simple yet powerful statement expressing the difficulties of letting go and moving on from a past love.

And I know that it's wrong
Admitting that holding onto feelings for someone who has moved on is not the right thing to do, but unable to let go nonetheless.

That I can't move on
Feeling stuck and unable to move on from the past love, holding onto memories and feelings that are still strong.

But there's somethin' 'bout you
Feeling a strong connection and attraction to the person they love, unable to let go of those feelings despite the circumstances.

Everything comes back to you, mm
A recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing the fact that all roads lead back to the person they love, and that their memories and feelings for them are still alive and strong.
