One Direction - Olivia Lyrics

One Direction Lyrics

"Olivia"

Remember the day we were giving up
When you told me I didn't give you enough
And all of your friends were saying I'd be leaving you
She's lying in bed with my t-shirt on
Just thinking how I went about it wrong
This isn't the stain of a red wine, I'm bleeding love

Please believe me, don't you see
The things you mean to me?
Oh I love you, I love you
I love, I love, I love Olivia

I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolizing the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Say what you're feeling and say it now
'Cause I got the feeling you're walking out
And time is irrelevant when I've not been seeing you
The consequences of falling out
Are something I'm having nightmares about
And these are the reasons I'm crying out to be with you

Please believe me, don't you see
The things you mean to me?
Oh I love you, I love you
I love, I love, I love Olivia

I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolizing the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

When you go and I'm alone
You live in my imagination
The summertime and butterflies
All belong to your creation
I love you, that's all I do
I love you

I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolizing the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

According to Harry Styles, it is "not necessarily" about a girl. He said, "It doesn't have to be so literal." He added during One Direction's First Listen Party that it could be about a place or even a feeling.

The band's frequent collaborator Julian Bunetta recalled to the Rolling Stone article on "Made In The A.M.", "We were trying to write things, and they were bad. Then we would just laugh and order food and hang out. Then all of a sudden, at the very end of the day when Harry was going to leave, he was sort of saying the chorus phrase. So we just sat there and wrote it really quick. It came out really, really quick."

The string instrumentation for this song was recorded at London's Abbey Road studio, where The Beatles recorded their albums. Julian Bunetta explained, "It has a full orchestra we recorded at Abbey Road: four trumpets, four trombones, three French horns, flute, clarinet, harp."

This track was leaked on the 2nd of November 2015 during an early listening party.
