'Made in the A.M.' Lyrics 1D Literally Wrote for Their Fans
& Cue the Crying

Made in the A.M. was One Direction's final album before their eh-hem "18-month" hiatus, and in it are tons of lyrics that are undoubtedly meant solely for their fans.
Cue the sappy love songs because this is about to get ugly.
"Hey Angel"
"Oh, I wish I could be more like you. Do you wish you could be more like me?"
&
"I come alive when I hear your voice, it's a beautiful sound, it's a beautiful noise."
One Direction always said they were just like us. They were just kids living in extraordinary circumstances. "Hey Angel" was a song written to tell the fans that even though a lot has changed over five years, they're still just like us, and they always will be.
"Drag Me Down"
"All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me."
&
"If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun. You taught me how to be someone."
&
"With your love, nobody can drag me down."
Written as the band's first single after Zayn left, this song was an anthem thanking the fans for their endless support. Even though it's a truly upbeat song, the message it leaves behind is clear: thank you.
"Perfect"
"I can be the one, be the one tonight."
&
"If you'd like to do whatever you've been dreaming about, baby, I'm perfect."
Even though it's written as a love song, there are definitely a few sneaky lyrics in here that can be interpreted for the fans. They were always there for us, and we never once doubted for a second that they allowed us to live vicariously through them.
"Infinity"
"How many nights have you wished someone would stay? Lie awake only hoping they're okay?"
The boys always looked out for us. From the very beginning, it was always about us. Up until the very end, they were always there.
"End Of The Day"
"I told her that I loved her, was not sure if she heard."
&
"Follow your heart, even though it'll break sometimes."
&
"You're the one that I want at the end of the day."
&
"When the sun goes down I know that you and me and everything will be alright."
We always relied on them—that was no secret. What was a secret was how much they relied on us. Before this song, we never knew just how much our constant love and support meant to them.
"If I Could Fly"
"If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you."
&
"For your eyes only, I show you my heart. For when you're lonely, and forget who you are. I'm missing half of me, when we're apart."
&
"Right now I'm completely defenseless."
&
"And I hope that you don't run from me."
The relationship that we shared was home. It was with them that we realized that home could be people, too.
"Long Way Down"
"We had it all, yeah, who could've planned it?"
We couldn't have predicted how much success the boys would have in their lives. However, when they hit the ceiling, they never once left us behind. We took that journey with them, every step of the way.
"Never Enough"
"I don't need my love, you can take it."
From "Little Things" to "I Want to Write You a Song," the boys were never shy about sharing their love with us.
"Olivia"
"Don't let me go."
The break was a scary idea. Throughout this entire album, there are more than a few references to it. "Don't let me go" was a plea. A plea for us to always remember the memories we shared, even if there won't be any more for a while.
"Love You Goodbye"
"It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end."
&
"Unforgettable together had the whole world in our hands."
Cue more references to the hiatus. Everything that's good really did come to an end.
"I Want to Write You a Song"
Literally the entire song is dedicated to us, and it's heartbreaking. Especially the line, "Anytime I'm gone, you can listen to my voice and sing along."
"History"
"thought we were going strong, thought were were holding on, aren't we?"
&
"We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen."
&
"So don't let me go, we can live forever."
&
"This is not the end, we can make it you know it, you know."
Never, ever, ever watch the "History" music video alone. You need moral support. Give me a call.
"Temporary Fix"
"I'll be your temporary fix."
Their love, their support; that was our temporary fix. They were the glue that held us together during the worst times.
"Walking In The Wind"
"The fact that we can sit right here and say goodbye means we've already won."
&
"We had some good times, didn't we?"
&
"Goodbyes are bitter sweet, but it's not the end, I'll see your face again."
&
"I'll be by your side any time you're needing me."
This is by far the most heartbreaking 1D song ever written. Period, end of story.
"A.M."
"Like we're all gonna make it."
&
"You know I'm always coming back to this place."
&
"You know I'm always gonna look for your face."
This was more so a song written for each other, but it still doesn't make it any less telling of all those times and memories we had together.
