Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn the light off
If I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try
Time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment, in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
Close the door
Throw the key
Don't wanna be reminded
Don't wanna be seen
Don't wanna be without you
My judgement's clouded
Like tonight's sky
Hands are silent
Voice's numb
Try to scream out, my lungs
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face.
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment, in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
Flashing lights in my mind
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls at my feet
There's a numb in my toes
Standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all
You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment, in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment, in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
The song "Moments" by One Direction is a powerful ballad that tells the story of a relationship on the brink of ending. The lyrics employ vivid imagery to convey the sense of desperation felt by the singer, who is pleading with their partner not to leave them. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer shutting the door and turning off the light in order to focus on their feelings. They long to be with their partner, to feel their love, and to lay beside them. However, they are unable to hide their emotions, even though they try.
As the song progresses, the singer's heart beats harder and time seems to slip away. They mention trembling hands touching skin, which implies a sense of intimacy that is fading away. It's clear that they are struggling to hold on to the relationship, as tears stream down their face. They sing about wishing for one more day, for the ability to turn back time and relive the moments they shared together. They want to be their partner's reason for living, and declare that their heart is breathing for that moment in time.
The imagery throughout the lyrics is very visceral, with flashing lights and an almost physical sensation of falling. The singer pleads with their partner to stay, to not remind them of what they are losing, and to not leave them behind. They know that their judgement is clouded, but they can't help how they feel. The song ends with the singer promising to find the words to say before their partner leaves them for good.
Overall, "Moments" is a haunting and emotional song about the pain of letting go of someone you love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship at its breaking point, with a sense of desperation and urgency throughout.

Playing games in the street
It was fun and carefree when we were together in the past
Kicking balls at my feet
Enjoying simple things in life with you made it all worthwhile
There's a numb in my toes
My body is numb with the overwhelming emotions I have for you
Standing close to the edge
Being close to you fills me with so much emotion that it's almost scary
There's a pile of my clothes
Being with you makes everything feel like home
At the end of your bed
Being near you makes me feel safe and content
As I feel myself fall
I'm falling harder and harder for you as time goes on
Make a joke of it all
Making light of my own feelings, but deep down my love is serious

Lyric
[Verse 1: Liam]
Shut the door, turn the light off
I wanna be with you, I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this, even though I try
Heart beats harder, time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
[Chorus: All]
You know I'll be your life, your voice
Your reason to be my love, my heart
Is breathing for this moment, in time
I'll find the words to say before you leave me today
[Verse 2: Niall & Louis]
Close the door, throw the key
Don't wanna be reminded, don't wanna be seen
Don't wanna be without you
My judgement's clouded like tonight's sky
Hands are silent, voice is numb
Try to scream out, my lungs
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face
[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time
[Chorus: All]
You know I'll be your life, your voice
Your reason to be my love, my heart
Is breathing for this moment, in time
I'll find the words to say before you leave me today
[Bridge: Zayn]
Flashing lights in my mind, going back to the time

There's a numb in my toes, standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my clothes at the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall, make a joke of it all
[Chorus: All]
You know I'll be your life, your voice

@Emmy Grace "Shut the door
Turn the light off"
The first two lines have a kind of finality about them. Almost as if they're saying 'shut the door and turn the light off for the last time'. It's basically the end.
"I wanna lay beside you"
If she's going to be lying buried in a cemetery, he wants to be right there next to her.
"I cannot hide this
Even though I try"
He can't hide his sadness, obviously.
"Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face"
He's clearly scared to do what he's about to do. The tears could be tears of sadness over his girlfriend or tears of fear of dying.
"Don't wanna be without you
My judgement's clouded
Like tonight's sky"
He's kind of driven crazy by the thought of his girlfriend being gone that he isn't thinking clearly and is not in any state to make decisions.
"Flashing lights in my mind
Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet"
You know how they say your life supposedly flashes before your eyes?
"There's a numb in my toes
Standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my close
At the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all"
He's about to jump, and one last thought of her and all that is left of her, literally pushes him over the edge.
"You know I'll be
Your life, your voice
Your reason to be
My love, my heart
Is breathing for this
Moment in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today"
He will be her everything, because she was obviously his everything. He can't wait for the moment he can tell her everything he wanted to say, to see her again. If he knew she was going to die, he would have said something different to her before she left.

Shut the door, turn the light off
Feche a porta, apague a luz
I wanna be with you
Eu quero estar com você
I wanna feel your love
Eu quero sentir o seu amor
I wanna lay beside you
Eu quero estar do seu lado
I cannot hide this even though I try
Eu não posso esconder isso mesmo que eu tente
Heart beats harder
Coração bate mais forte
Time escapes me
O tempo foge de mim
Trembling hands touch skin
Mãos trêmulas tocam a pele
It makes this harder
Isto se torna difícil
And the tears stream down my face
E as lágrimas escorrem pelo meu rosto.
If we could only have this life
Se nós apenas pudéssemos ter essa vida
For one more day
Por mais um dia
If we could only turn back time
Se nós apenas pudéssemos voltar no tempo
You know I'll be
Você sabe que eu serei
Your life, your voice
Sua vida, sua voz
Your reason to be my love
Sua razão de ser meu amor
My heart is breathing for this
Meu coração está respirando por isso
Moments in time
Momentos no tempo
I'll find the words to say
Eu acharei as palavras pra dizer
Before you leave me today
Antes que você me deixe hoje
Close the door
Feche a porta
Throw the key
Jogue a chave fora
Don't wanna be reminded
Não quero ser lembrado
Don't wanna be seen
Não quero ser visto
Don't wanna be without you
Não quero ficar sem você
My judgement is clouded
Minha opinião está nublada
Like tonight's sky
Como o céu de hoje à noite
Hands are silent
Mãos silenciosas
Voice is numb
A voz é entorpecida
Try to scream out my lungs
Tento gritar fora os meus pulmões
It makes this harder
Mas isso torna as coisas mais difíceis
And the tears stream down my face
E as lágrimas escorrem pelo meu rosto
If we could only have this life for one more day
Se nós apenas pudéssemos ter essa vida por mais um dia
If we could only turn back time
Se nós apenas pudéssemos voltar no tempo
You know I'll be
Você sabe que eu serei
Your life, your voice
Sua vida, sua voz
Your reason to be my love
Sua razão para ser meu amor
My heart is breathing for this
Meu coração está respirando por isso
Moments in time
Momentos no tempo
I'll find the words to say
Eu acharei as palavras pra dizer
Before you leave me today
Antes que você me deixe hoje
Flashes left in my mind
Flashes deixados em minha mente
Going back to the time
Voltando no tempo
Playing games in the street
Jogando jogos na rua
Kicking balls with my feet
Chutando bolas com meus pés
There's a numb in my toes
Dançando com meus dedos
Standing close to the edge
Ficando em pé perto da borda
There's a pile of my clothes
Há uma pilha das minhas roupas
At the end of your bed
No fim da sua cama
As I feel myself fall
Conforme eu sinto eu mesmo caindo
Make a joke of it all
Faça uma piada de tudo isso
You know I'll be
Você sabe que eu serei
Your life, your voice
Sua vida, sua voz
Your reason to be my love
Sua razão para ser meu amor
My heart is breathing for this
Meu coração está respirando por isso
Moment in time
Momentos no tempo
I'll find the words to say
Eu acharei as palavras pra dizer
Before you leave me today
Antes que você me deixe hoje
You know I'll be
Você sabe que eu serei
Your life, your voice
Sua vida, sua voz
Your reason to be my love
Sua razão para ser meu amor
My heart is breathing for this
Meu coração está respirando por isso
Moment in time
Momentos no tempo
I'll find the words to say
Eu acharei as palavras pra dizer
Before you leave me today
Antes que você me deixe hoje

Hi friends who are still and will always love One Direction
In the past, since I was 8 years old, I often heard One Direction's songs on the radio, I was also happy when my cousin gave me magazines that contained information about One Direction.
I fell in love with one direction, in their song, in their behavior. And this is true until now.
But at that time I was only 8 years old, and I never had a one direction's albums, I didn't have their posters in my room, I didn't congratulate them on twitter or whatever when the boys got the feat (because at that time I didn't have a twitter), I never attended their concert
Now I am 16 years old, I am still a student. I don't have much money to buy a one direction's album.
So I just want you guys to know, I feel it's okay if you don't think of me as a real directioners
Whatever it is, I still love the boys, their songs, their behavior.
In fact, I always pray that someday one direction will comeback, and I can attend their concerts.
Love u One Direction💙
Love u Directioners 💙
Love u friends 💙
Lov
