Song lyrics

[Harry]

Circles, we’re going in circles

Dizzy’s all it makes us

We know where it takes us

We've been before

Closer, maybe looking closer

There's more to discover

Find out what went wrong without blaming each other


[Zayn]

Think that we got more time

When we're falling behind

Gotta make up our minds


Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games

And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change

And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same

But we're making all the same mistakes


[Liam]

Wake up, we both need to wake up

Maybe if we face up to this

We can make it through this

Closer, maybe we'll be closer

Stronger than we were before, yeah

Make this something more, yeah


[Zayn]

Think that we got more time

When we're falling behind

Gotta make up our minds


Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games

And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change

And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same

But we're making all the same mistakes


Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is

When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix

And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay

While you're making all the same mistakes


[Liam]

Don't look back

But if we don't look back

We’re only learning then

How to make all same mis-, same mistakes again


So we play, play, play all the same old games (same mistakes)

And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change (when nothing's gonna change)

And we take, take, take it for granted that we’ll be the same (well nothing's gonna be the same)

But we're making all the same mistakes


Yeah, yeah, that's what crazy is (crazy is)

When it's broken, you say there's nothing to fix (there's nothing to fix)

And you pray, pray, pray that everything will be okay (everything will be okay)

While you're making all the same mistakes
