"Silver Tongues" lyrics

"Silver Tongues"

Getting high on the ember wave
Going deep for the ones who do the same
Air max's and silver tongues
Settle in for another heavy one
You said love was a pretty lie
And I choked when your smoke got in my eye
Bad logic and empty cans

I know nobody understands
Me like you do

You know it's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those stupid jokes
Only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those songs we wrote
Only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like going home

You said grass was a dirty drug
You like to preach with vodka in your mug
I love all the things you know
But I'm king on a 50 metre road
We stand up tall and beat our chest
Shout some things that we'll regret
Sit down with a master plan

I know nobody understands
Me like you do

You know it's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those stupid jokes
Only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those songs we wrote
Only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like going home

You and me until the end
Waking up to start again
You and me until the end
Waking up to start again
There's nowhere else that I would rather be

Because it's times like these we're so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those stupid jokes
Only we know
You know when I'm with you, I'm so much happier
Nights like these, we'll remember those songs we wrote
Only we know
You smile at me and say, "It's time to go"
But I don't feel like going home

"Silver Tongues" is the third single from Louis Tomlinson's second album, ""Faith In the Future". The song was released on the 8th of November, 2022.
Speaking with OfficialCharts.com in an interview in September of 2022, Louis Tomlinson explained, "One song in particular, 'Silver Tongues', I'm immensely proud of. It's one of the first times that I've written a song that I could definitely imagine myself listening to, had I not written it. That track's very much in line with what I listen to and love musically anyway. Writing that made me feel really confident that I was writing the album I wanted to write. I feel really confident in what's to come."
Louis Tomlinson told Euphoria magazine about "Silver Tongues", "...I tried to write with less professional songwriters and more artists, and 'Silver Tongues' is a good example of that. What you get with that is a different level of care and love for what you're doing, instead of making it about money and trying to get the single. It's not trying to be anything that it's not. We were not trying to write a single, and there's just a certain level of energy to it."
