Lyrics:
A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in between
Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every calvary
A few more souls on the bus now
Shut my eyes right at 17
Always hits me
I’m always shifting
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand
How can you live and let die
Young man look in the mirror
Take my hand and don’t you ever let go
Don’t you ever let go (take my hand now and forever)
Told myself maybe someday
I’d fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
I owe you an apology
Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself maybe make some peace
I forget every birthday
Open eyes right at 23
Always hits me
I’m always shifting
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand how can you live and let die
Young man look in the mirror
Take my hand and don’t you ever let go
Don’t you ever let go (take my hand now and forever)
Take my hand now and forever
Take my hand now and forever
Pick apart all of the pieces
Well I’m running out of time
Iron out all of the creases and just hang it out to dry
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
That ache to be alive
You fall apart and redefine what keeps you up at night
Oh take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand just as you’re losing yourself again
Look in the mirror
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand
How can you live and let and die
Young man look in the mirror
Take my hand
And don’t you ever let go
Don’t you ever let go

[@tsunamipaw]

I can only imagine baby 5sos if someone told them they would perform with an orchestra😂

[@MissKathyG]

I imagine the response wouldn’t be the same as now 😂. Not very punk-rock or pop-punk

[@Imacow99]

Michael: NO WERE PUNK ROCK

[@oatmilkgirly]

“that doesn’t sound very punk rock”

[@kai_yue]

They'd be ecstatic. Since they'd been wanting to do it since Amnesia, I can tell. (The official audio has a little orchestra in the chorus. A violin a believe.)

[@SafeJourneyofLife]

POSSIBLE REACTIONS:
Ashton: "An ooorchestra eh? Nooow, thaaat wouuuld beee...iiinteresting, veeery iiinteresting."
Michael: *stares in emo*
Luke: *giggling*
Calum: "Hmm" *rubbing his chin, deep in thought, actual or not*
Haha, 5SOS makes great music, always has :)

[@ezrarojas666]

Every single song that comes out of this band is so perfect, even better if it's live 💕💕💕

[@radioflavia]

Saying that I'm proud is an understatement. I was there that night and now tears just came to my eyes watching this. Living all of it all over again. MAGICAL. THANK YOU 5SOS.

[@hupipanmei264]

So lucky to be alive in this generation to listen to them

[@noesuarez7940]

Same

[@abib4804]

This is a song future 5sos will look back on and be so proud of. It perfectly encapsulates the essences of the 5sos5 era, the bridge, their signature harmonies, the ethereal instrumentation, and lyrics you somehow find a new meaning to with every listen. And this performance adds so much

[@haydog7890]

PLEASE keep releasing the live songs from Royal Albert Hall. The album was so good, and seeing you guys play is so much fun.

[@Imacow99]

This performance was PHENOMENAL. They’ve come so far!!❤❤❤

[@yanacardyn7517]

My all time favourite 5sos song

[@klovercoveredkleo2013]

Same here! ♡

[@Arkya_Sengupta]

Same.

[@deeplay-py2th]

Always

[@MelinaImmonen]

This song and performance is a work of art

[@DuMouraOficial]

The phone at the end saying “I am fucking crying” got me so bad 😭😭😭

[@roslolian11]

I find these types of songs to be the best. Mix of classic and modern music, feels like I'm seeing the entire breadth of human history in one song.

[@jaderussell1997]

I feel breathless when it shows Ashton gunning it away on the drums, absolutely dripping in sweat 😮‍💨💕
Such a good live track 👏🏼

[@elenacadhez]

5sos take my hand now, forever and always ✨💗

[@milenealme]

i just realise that im turning 23 this year, and the line "Open eyes right at 23" is hitting extra hard rn

[@willendetassio7737]

A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in between
Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every calvary
A few more souls on the bus now
Shut my eyes right at 17
Always hits me
I'm always shifting
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand
How can you live and let die
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
Take my hand now and forever
Take my hand now and forever
Don't you ever let go (take my hand now and forever)
Take my hand now and forever
Told myself maybe someday
I'd fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
I owe you an apology
Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself maybe make some peace
I forgot every birthday
Open eyes right at 23
Always hits me, yeah
I'm always shifting
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand how can you live and let die
Young man look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
Take my hand now and forever
Take my hand now and forever
Don't you ever let go (take my hand now and forever)
Take my hand now and forever
Pick apart all of the pieces
Well, I'm running out of time
Iron out all of the creases and just hang it out to dry
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
That ache to be alive
You fall apart and redefine what keeps you up at night
Oh, take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand just as you're losing yourself again
Look in the mirror
Take my hand
Now and forever
Where I stand
How can you live and let and die
Young man look in the mirror
Take my hand
And don't you ever let go
Take my hand now and forever
Take my hand now and forever
Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)
Take my hand now and forever

[@ImperialMJG]

Luke wrote this song all by himself. Its a masterpiece of songwriting. Absolutely love it.
He is writing to himself.
As I understand the "Take my hand" part is to take care of yourself. I love the part "Just as your loosing yourself again, look in the mirror". I should have done that many times myself...but many times its not "you" that looks back.

[@Kill_Me_Slowly]

I don't know what to say, their music is so amazing! I spend my days listening and re-listening to their music, a drug ! 🤩

[@jasminbampton2002]

Wow all the lights in the crowd so magical looking 😍😍😍

[@aditii1028]

the girl who was holding "IM FUCKING CRYING" represents all of us 😭

[@Martu_uu]

Estoy tan orgullosa de ellos, de lo que han logrado que simplemente escucharlos alegran mis días de la manera más pura y buena que he conocido😢

[@Babyleebit]

I was there and it was such an amazing experience so watching it back makes me tear up! ❤
