Diana

    Singer: One Direction

    The front pages are your pictures

    They make you look so small

    How could someone not miss you at all?

    I never would mistreat ya

    I’m not a criminal

    I speak a different language but I still hear your call

    Diana, let me be the one to

    Light a fire inside those eyes

    You’ve been lonely, you don’t even know me

    But I can feel you crying

    Diana, let me be the one to

    Lift your heart up and save your life

    I don’t think you even realize

    Baby you’ll be saving mine

    Diana, it’s only been four months but

    You’ve fallen down so far

    How could someone mislead you at all?

    I wanna reach out for you

    I wanna break these walls

    I speak a different language but I still hear you call

    Diana, let me be the one to

    Light a fire inside those eyes

    You’ve been lonely, you don’t even know me

    But I can feel you crying

    Diana, let me be the one to

    Lift your heart up and save your life

    I don’t think you even realize

    Baby you’ll be saving mine

    We all need something

    This can’t be over now

    If I could hold ya

    Swear I’d never put you down

    ...

    Background

    “Diana” was written for a fan who was unhappy with living her life. It offers listeners the first of many rock-tinged pop gems found on One Direction’s “Midnight Memories.” The verses tell of the boys turned men trying to win over a girl against catchy guitar-and-drum production that brings to mind the height of ’80s pop rock, with a modern twist, of course. Once the chorus hits, you cannot help dancing or at least tapping your foot in time with the music.
