"All This Time" lyrics

"All This Time"

One, two
One, two, three, four

It's late now
I'm tryna find the words to say for ages
Just have patience
It's not how you spend the time as if you waste it

And I keep on building mountains
Hoping that they'll turn to gold
But the truth is, I still doubt the work
I do can get me home

When it gets cold
Know sometimes, sometimes, I lose my home

Our eyes meet
And I can tell that you're the same as me
It's the way we—
It's the way we see ourselves through walls of trees

And you keep on building mountains
Hoping that they'll turn to gold
But the truth is, you still doubt the work
You do can get you home

When it gets cold
Know sometimes sometimes, I lose your home
And the friends we make, the love we take
It's worth, it's worth, it's worth the pain
The friends we make, the love it takes
It's worth, it's worth, it's worth it all this time

All this time
All this time
It's worth it all this time
Oh-oh

"All This Time" was inspired by listening to the album "The Glow" by DMA's. Louis Tomlinson explained, "I was cutting my nose to spite my face, and this was a song that was me breaking out of having all these rules within what I want to do, and experiment. It's a good feeling to play with different sounds, but also for it all to still fit within the identity of the whole record." He also added elsewhere, "And it was actually the DMA's record, their last album they did with Stuart Price, which has quite a lot of dance elements to it, but they did it in a really authentic way, and it doesn't feel like a play for radio or anything like that. It just gave me real food for thought for the album. There were lots of sounds that I would have alienated on the first record."
