Song Lyrics

One Direction have written so many of their songs, if not a close friend of theirs has done it for/with them. Yet over the past 6 years, mostly the past 5, specific songs and lyrics have been great help and huge evidence to Louis and Harry's relationship.
In most of the songs the pronouns are all 'her' 'she' 'girl' as they can't make them masculine obviously.
So for this post I'll reverse the pronouns so you get the idea and put the original n brackets.

Happily (Written by Harry Styles): 
You don't understand, you don't understand.
What you do to me when you hold her (his) hand.
We were meant to be but a twist of fate,
Made it so we had to walk away.

We're on fire, we are on fire
We're on fire now. x2

I don't care what people say when
we're together.  You know I want
to be the one to hold you in your sleep.
I just want it to be you and I forever.
I know you want to leave so come on
baby be with me so happily.

It's 4am and I know that you're with her (him)
I wonder if she (he) knows that I've touched your skin
and if she (he) feels my traces in your hair.
I'm sorry love but I don't really care.

Clearly these lyrics are about wanting to be with someone you can't have. Just put yourself in Harry's shoes as the time he wrote this song, Louis was indeed forced to go on dates with Eleanor, so Harry would be wanting Louis back with him.
Straight couples get rarely any hate as it has been considered the 'norm' for so long, but as an openly gay couple, homophobic people may have a word or two to say.
"I don't care what people say when we're together" seems a bit extreme if it was just Louis and Eleanor or whatever right? Yes.

Strong (Written by Louis Tomlinson): 
My hands, your hands,
tied up like two ships.
Drifting, weightless,
Waves try to break it.
I'd do anything to save it,
why is it so hard to say it?

My heart, your heart,
sit tight light bookends.
Pages between us
written with no end.
So many words we're not saying,
don't want to wait 'till it's gone.
You make me strong.

I'm sorry if I say I need you,
but I don't care, I'm not scared,
Of love.
Because when I'm not with you I'm weaker,
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
That you make me strong.

Think of how much
love that's been wasted,
people always trying
to escape it.
Move on to stop
their hearts breaking.
But theres nothing I'm running from,
You make me strong.
~
So baby hold on to my heart.
Need you to keep me from falling apart.

This is again a song about wanting to be good enough and wondering why is it wrong if he feels his way. But take a close look at the lyrics of the first verse. They seem to connect almost identically.
Take a look:

It looks like Louis just looked at Harry laying in their bed and wrote this song. All the lyrics match up it is getting weird.

They don't know about us:
People say we shouldn't be together,
too young to know about forever,
but I'll say that the don't know
what they're talk, talk, talking about.

Cuase this love is only getting stronger
and I don't want to wait, any longer.
I just want to tell the world that you're mine.

They don't know about the things we do,
they don't know about the I love you's
but I bet you if they only knew,
they would just be jealous of us.

They don't know about the up all nights,
they don't know I've waited all my life,
just that find a love that feels this right.
Cause baby they don't know about,
they don't know about us.

One touch and I was a believer,
every kiss it gets a little sweeter.
It's getting better, keeps getting better
all the time.

~

They don't know what we do best
but between you and me our little secret.
But I want to tell them,
i want to tell the world that you're mine.

If that wasn't self explanatory then re-read it please. Because that is such an obvious song. Like how could you miss that.

Honestly there are so many songs of their's and I'll but the names at the end but for now I'll just highlight the main or key lyrics from specific songs that are so Larry.

Little Things (Written by Ed Sheeran):
Yes Ed isn't Louis or Harry but he is a very, very close friend of Harry's. Also a few of his songs, written and/or sung, seem to relate a lot to Larry as well.
Louis solo in little things go like this:
you can't go to bed
without a cup of tea.
Maybe that's the reason
that you talk in your sleep.
All those conversations
are the secrets that I keep.
Tho they make no sense to me.

In an interview the year before this song came out, Harry was talking about how he always has tea before bed. That honestly is enough proof but still, in the One Direction 2015 annual official. yes that is the official annual book produced with their labels name on the back. Very much official. On Harry's page for his fun fact it read:
             Harry has somniloquy, meaning he talks in his sleep.
What? WHAT? How can anyone deny that. Literally Louis' whole solo is about Harry no doubt. This cannot be just a coincidence. Even if Ed wrote the verse about someone else, Louis still chose that because it clearly freaking relates to his husband. smh.

Something Great:
This entire song is very much Larry af but theres one verse that sticks out to me:
The script was written
And I could not change a thing.
I want to rip it all to shreds
and start again.


Think of it as if 'The Script' is the contract. The one which the boys signed, the contract that legally makes it okay to be put in fake relationships and everything else. After it was signed they couldn't take it back or change it without a fine until it expires. When they signed the contract they were young and had been kicked off X-Factor so this contract was the only chance of making it big time and they weren't even 19 yet, so now they want to start again or just rip the contract up.

Pretty damn sad.

Home (Written by Louis Tomlinson): 
Again, this whole song is just so sad and happy and just LARRY LARRY LARRY. But there are some lyrics that hit you hard.
So many nights I thought it over,
told myself I kind of liked her.
But there was something 
missing in her eyes.
~
Still high with a little feeling
saw the smile as it starts to creep in.

It was there I saw it in your eyes.

Honestly those lyrics. Louis tried to like Eleanor and he wanted the pain to end. Whatever Love is or it is, it can't be faked in Eleanor's eyes because it is in Harry's eyes. Louis wanted it over, he tried so hard to be happy with Eleanor.
