One Direction - 18
"I got a heart and I got a soul
Believe me, I use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
We took a chance
God knows, we tried
Yet all along
I knew we'd be fine
So pour me a drink, oh love
Let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything
We can live in love in slow motion, motion, motion So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
Believe me, I use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
We took a chance
God knows, we tried
Yet all along
I knew we'd be fine
So pour me a drink, oh love
Let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything
We can live in love in slow motion, motion, motion So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Were made for holding you
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
When we were 18
Oh Lord
When we were 18
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18."
Were made for holding you
And I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
When we were 18
Oh Lord
When we were 18
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed through your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Were made for holding you
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18."

"I got a heart and I got a soul
Believe me, I will use them both"
A Heart and a Soul probably in his opinion are the important things in a relationship. Therefore he needs his “partner” to believe him that he will commit himself with a Heart (Love) and a Soul (compassion).
"A long way from the playground"
They aren’t kids anymore, and rather young adults. The playground is an essential childhood place, so pointing out physical distance from it symbolizes how much time has passed since they outgrew teenagehood.
They also have been together a long time.
"Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love"
He started loving her a long time ago before she even thought of them being more than friends.
This line also refers to the line where he says: “A long way from the playground”.
He knows her since they were kids and started developing feelings for her but she didn’t feel the same about him at that time.
"So pour me a drink, oh love
Let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything
We can live in love in slow motion, motion"
By “split the night wide open”, he wants to live in the moment with his lover. It’s a hyperbolic phrase for going out late and doing what they want. It has a deterministic, youthful vibe to it, which he’s trying to recapture.
“Slow motion” is associated with observing and enjoying every detail. He wants savor every second they spend together, instead of succumbing to life’s fast pace.
