Everytime
♫ Simple Plan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was 3 AM
When you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away

We talked about our lives
Until the sun came out
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you

When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
'Til we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all OK

We spent all our money
On stupid things
But if I look back now
I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
It left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
It's all I need
Is one more day with you
Now I'm sitting here
Like we used to do
I think about my life
And now there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Every time I see your face
Every time you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Every time I hear your name
Every time I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything, everything feels right

You walked away
Just one more day




It's all I need
Is one more day with you

Dear you guys,
My lovely dearest band since my Senior High School called Simple Plan
Thank you for helping me through my hardest times of my life
Your songs are such a healing, you guys make me stronger
You guys are the reasons I'm taking English Literature at college also French lessons
I'm hoping someday I would have a chance to meet you guys in person
So that I can use my knowledge just to talk to you
Since I've always come to your concert every time you guys came to my country
We even supposed to meet at last March but ya the condition changes
Hoping you guys, Pierre, Chuck, Jeff, Seb, and David are all doing well
Loving each of you wholeheartedly from the bottom of my hard
Keep up the good work. The astronauts are always here to support you no matter what.
Thank you for those years and your beautiful yet lovely songs.

With love,
An Astronaut from Indonesia

@dianarosemadrid7014

This song makes me realize that I don't have to be beautiful to be loved by someone. I just need to be me. Love it!

@bigmoney4635

Simple Plan has really told my life story. I remember listening to them as a teen in the early 2000s. The song Perfect pretty much described me. It seems like I could never live up to my parents expectations. I was never good enough. And here I am years later Perfectly Perfect describes my life and relationship. I'm so lucky to have a woman that simply loves me for me. Not for my achievements or money but just ME. She is perfectly perfect and she makes me feel the same way.
