Mark Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I suppose
I picture a yellow house
That you call home
And when I think of you I feel
And that's enough for me
I really don't need much more
Oh except, maybe a love like
Anna
Like Anna
I need a love like Anna
I keep my head real low
And I see
Your shadow on the ground
Oh could it be you
But every time I look
You're gone, gone
You left me with the feeling
That we're not done
Oh I just want a love like
Anna
Like Anna
I need a love like Anna
And so I wait for your return
Like a fool who just never learns
I think of you when moonlight fades
Baby I can't help but to feel this way
And so I wait for your return
Like a fool who just never learns
I think of you when moonlight fades
Baby I can't help but to want a love like
Anna
Anna
In Mark Diamond's song "Anna," the lyrics convey a sense of longing and yearning for a love like that of Anna. The singer is infatuated with Anna, who lives nearby in a yellow house. He imagines what her home looks like and how she feels, and the thought of her brings him a certain level of contentment.
However, despite living close by, the singer rarely sees Anna. He keeps his head low, perhaps implying a lack of confidence or fear of rejection. He catches glimpses of her shadow on the ground, hoping it's actually her, but every time he looks up, she's gone. This leaves him with a feeling of unfinished business, as if their connection is incomplete.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for a love like Anna's. Anna represents an idealized version of love in his mind, and he longs for someone who can make him feel the way Anna does. He yearns for a love that is genuine, fulfilling, and reciprocated.
