Just Another Day
Peter White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just another, just another day
There's no place that I want to be
No one that I want to see
Nothing that inspires me
Now that you're far away
It's just another day
I'd like to walk, but there's no place to go
The hours in a day go by so slow
If any wish I made came true
I would wish my way to you
Time alone won't see me through
Seems like I'm here to stay
Just another day
It's just another, just another day
(as I'm watching the lonely hours slowly slip away)
It's just another, just another day
(if only you could hear the words I cannot say)
Tell me am I to undo
Everything I feel for you
Oh, after all that we've been through
How could you walk away
Like it's just another day
In Peter White's song "Just Another Day," the lyrics describe a feeling of emptiness and lack of purpose due to being far away from a loved one. The chorus repeats the phrases "It's just another, just another day," emphasizing how monotonous and insignificant each day feels without that special person.
The verse describes the singer's lack of motivation to do anything without the presence of their loved one. There's no place they want to be and no one they want to see, as they feel that everything around them fails to inspire them. The lyrics suggest that the singer would like to go for a walk, but there's no destination because they feel lost without their partner.
The bridge expresses the singer's longing for their loved one, wishing they could be together again. There's a sense of helplessness in not being able to express their innermost thoughts and emotions to their loved one. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to hold onto their relationship, but their loved one seems to have easily moved on, leaving the singer feeling abandoned and lost.
Overall, "Just Another Day" is a poignant song about the emptiness and longing that accompanies the absence of a significant other.

I first heard Peter White playing guitar with Al Stewart in "Year of The Cat" in 1976 and I HAD to know who that was playing that guitar. I must have worn a hole in the record playing that album over and over, just mezmorized by every note that he played on each song on that album. He is, and always will be, a MAJOR guitar influence in my own guitar playing career. As for Basia - what can I say? I own all of her albums and I just love her voice. She's a bit "sassy" and I just love it!
