Or different album concept this is long warning lol …. it could be possible heartbreak weather is about rocky relationship stormy days and sunny days, black and white is a song from a good day and he is like yeah this is the person I want to marry be with forever dear patience is a bad day in the relationship and him thinking it won’t always be perfect have patience to get thru the down times in hopes of getting another one of those good days like in black and white. break the rules that’s a deal breaker for him he calls it quits he can’t keep doing this then small talk and nice to meet ya is Niall’s revenge of him going out and being a hoe put a little love on me is him thinking ok that didn’t make me feel any better now I’m sad missing you arms of a stranger he still meeting new people but maybe his old girl is trying to get back with him and he is like no you treated me like shit and now I’m laying here with this girl and he is thinking of the first girl but doesn’t want to let her know that he wants girl 1 to think he is happy with girl 2 but he is actually miserable. Everywhere they see each other in person for the first time those old feelings come back rushing back seeing signs everywhere thinking maybe they are meant to be cuz the signs are everywhere. Cross you mind they saw each other in person have a night together and Niall is like it’s ok that you hurt me cuz it’s worth it he knows he is going to be hurting the next day but at least they got last night . New Angel Niall is out being a hoe again 😂 looking for someone to forget the night he had with his ex. Nothing is like damn nothing is working all I want is girl 1 and after everything he still worships her. No judgment is it has been a few months there’s not anymore resentment or hate between them they cross paths again and maybe have another day or night sounds a little more light so maybe they just had a fun day together Spending time catching up to my guess is she lives in in California . Then comes San Francisco and after their fun day in no judgment he tells girl 1 like take me back I want us to go back to what we had. Dress he is finding a reason to contact girl 1 again like do you want this or not he needs a final answer dress is a metaphor for the relationship is it time for me to forget all of this even tho I don’t want to but if you don’t want it then there is no point of me holding on to it. Still is him pouring his heart out telling her he still loves her “trying to convince her she wants the dress essentially” and he realizes his plea isn’t working and it’s time for him to finally let her go. The entire album is about girl 1 any mention of a new girl 2,3,4,5 how ever many flings they are all just essentially being used as a tool to forget about girl 1 and the only one that means anything at all to him is girl 1 by the end he realizes they will never be together again no matter how many sunny days they had it’s over fast forward to the show he moved on he has a new love ❤️
