“Night Changes” is a song by One Direction from their 2014 album Four.
It’s one of the band’s most memorable tracks, known for its reflective and somewhat melancholic lyrics. The song talks about the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with it, especially in relationships. Its lyrics focus on the fleeting nature of life and love, with the recurring theme of how everything seems to change as time goes on.
Goin’ out tonight, changes into something redHer mother doesn’t like that kind of dressEverything she never had she’s showin’ offDrivin’ too fast, moon is breakin’ through her hairShe’s headin’ for somethin’ that she won’t forgetHavin’ no regrets is all that she really wants
We’re only gettin’ older, babyAnd I’ve been thinkin’ about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you’ve ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there’s nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change me and you
Chasing it tonight, doubts are runnin’ ’round her headHe’s waitin’, hides behind a cigaretteHeart is beatin’ loud and she doesn’t want it to stopMovin’ too fast, moon is lightin’ up her skinShe’s fallin’, doesn’t even know it yetHavin’ no regrets is all that she really wants
We’re only gettin’ older, babyAnd I’ve been thinkin’ about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you’ve ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there’s nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change me and you
Goin’ out tonight, changes into something redHer mother doesn’t like that kind of dressReminds her of the missin’ piece of innocence she lost
We’re only gettin’ older, babyAnd I’ve been thinkin’ about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you’ve ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there’s nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change, babyIt will never change, babyIt will never change me and you
