lyrics
I remember her from second grade, looking pretty in her winter coat
With a birthmark on her face and a purple scarf around her throat
We pledged allegiance to the flag, pledged allegiance to ourselves
Did the years really go that fast? Does anyone become someone else?
Her stomach was an open flame, and her tongue just like a firebrand
I remember how my leg would shake when that little girl held my hand
She didn’t even know my name, but her hair smelled like banana
Did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
I remember a field trip, throwing pennies from the capitol
Someone told us that the street would split, but we didn’t see it crack at all
I saw her again in ‘98, filling station in Arapahoe
There was recognition in her face, but she acted like she did not know
There was recognition in her face, but she acted like she did not know
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
I remember when I read the news, saw her name and picture on A1
Her cheeks were hollow and her hair was blue, and the birthmark somehow gone
Local Woman Drowns Herself and Child, I could hardly stand to read the rest
I forgot to breathe for a while for the heavy feeling in my breast
Where do you go when you think about Diana?
I see a girl who’s living in my mind
I hear a song playing softly on piano
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Now and then someone says her name, how her heart was cut from stone
I remember her from second grade, looking pretty in her winter coat
With a birthmark on her face and a purple scarf around her throat
We pledged allegiance to the flag, pledged allegiance to ourselves
Did the years really go that fast? Does anyone become someone else?
Her stomach was an open flame, and her tongue just like a firebrand
I remember how my leg would shake when that little girl held my hand
She didn’t even know my name, but her hair smelled like banana
Did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
I remember a field trip, throwing pennies from the capitol
Someone told us that the street would split, but we didn’t see it crack at all
I saw her again in ‘98, filling station in Arapahoe
There was recognition in her face, but she acted like she did not know
There was recognition in her face, but she acted like she did not know
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
I remember when I read the news, saw her name and picture on A1
Her cheeks were hollow and her hair was blue, and the birthmark somehow gone
Local Woman Drowns Herself and Child, I could hardly stand to read the rest
I forgot to breathe for a while for the heavy feeling in my breast
Where do you go when you think about Diana?
I see a girl who’s living in my mind
I hear a song playing softly on piano
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Why did I feel like I knew you, Diana?
Now and then someone says her name, how her heart was cut from stone
I remember her from second grade, looking pretty in her winter coat
