Best Day of My Life
American Authors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back, whoa
I'm never gonna give it up, no
Please don't wake me now (two, three, four)
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits, just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm never gonna look back, whoa
I'm never gonna give it up, no
Just don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I hear it calling outside my window
I feel it in my soul (soul)
The stars were burning so bright
The sun was out 'til midnight
I say we lose control (control)
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
The lyrics of American Authors’ “Best Day of My Life” suggest a sense of joy, a feeling of freedom, and living life to the fullest without any worries about the past or future. The opening lines speak of a dream so big and loud that it takes the singer high up into the clouds. The second line points to leaping so high that it almost seemed like he touched the sky. Then, he goes on to describe dancing with monsters through the night, which is a metaphor for his fear. And in the next line, he says he won't look back or give up, implying that he is choosing to overcome his fear.
In the chorus, the singer declares that this day, the day in his dream, is going to be the best day of his life. He repeats this line twice, emphasizing the importance of this day. He sings of how he howled at the moon with his friends and the sun came "crashing in" but all the possibilities lay on the horizon with no limits and only epiphanies for him to discover.
The last verse speaks of how the singer hears the call of his dreams outside his window and feels as if his soul is in it. He claims that the stars were burning so bright and the sun was out till midnight, embracing and enjoying everything without worrying about losing control.
