Something Great is the twelfth track from One Direction's album Midnight Memories.
Critical Reception
Billboard writer Chris Payne stated: "For this song, One Direction enlisted the help of Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, who recently performed live alongside Ed Sheeran and collaborated with Taylor Swift on the "Red" track "The Last Time." And just like on that song, producer Jacknife Lee lends composition help in the studio. There are definite similarities to a Snow Patrol song -- the wistful love themes, piano flourishes, and soothing, hopeful chorus." [1]
Lyrics
[Liam]
One day you'll come into my world and say it all
You say we'll be together even when you're lost
[Zayn]
One day you'll say these words
I thought but never said
You say we're better off together in our bed
[Harry]
I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
Come on, jump out at me
Come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?
[Niall]
The script was written and I could not change a thing
I want to rip it all to shreds and start again
[Harry]
One day I'll come into your world and get it right
I'll say we're better off together here tonight
I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
Come on, jump out at me
Come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?
[Zayn]
I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
So I don't have to keep imagining
[Harry/Zayn]
Come on, jump out at me
Come on, bring everything
Is it too much to ask for something great?
I want you here with me
Like how I pictured it
Is it too much to ask for something great?
[Louis]
You're all I want
So much it's hurting
You're all I want
So much it's hurting
