Everyday
Buddy Holly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,
Everyone says go ahead and ask her,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer,
Every way, love's a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer,
Every way, love's a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Love like yours will surely come my way
The lyrics of Buddy Holly's song, Everyday, speak to the universal feeling of the passage of time and the hope for romantic love. The lyrics express reference to the feeling of time accelerating ("Everyday, it's a gettin' closer, goin' faster than a roller coaster") as the singer longs for a reciprocated love ("Love like yours will surely come my way"). The repetition of this line emphasizes the optimism and hope that is being held onto, despite the challenges of finding love.
The second verse of the song further develops this idea of time and its relationship with love. The lyrics speak of love growing stronger over time ("Every way, love's a little stronger") and the questioning of whether the object of the singer's love longs for the same level of commitment and devotion ("Come what may, do you ever long for true love from me?"). The final repetition of the chorus underlines the assured expectation of the singer that this love will eventually manifest, creating a sense of optimism for the listener.
Overall, Holly's lyrics in Everyday are optimistic and hopeful, as they express the belief that despite challenges, love will eventually find a way. The song is a testament to the power of optimism and the determination to hold on to hope despite obstacles to find the fulfillment of love.

Buddy was such a nice guy
Richie was only 17 and bought his mom a house
JP was a big boy and such a jolly Santa clause individual.
The v tail beaxh craft was a problem plane.
pilot unfamiliar with its artificial horizon.
snow storm.
plane was over weight
should have kept the flaps down.
tour should have had better management .
should have kept the flaps down and full power and not had so much cargo.
it was their laundry.
That beechcraft was a substandard aircraft and in a snowstorm late at night.

@doomsdayoption
The dislikes are all by people who went to The Resurrectionist in Edinbrugh and were trying to listen to another song on the jukebox but got inevitably stuck with this because an Archangel had fallen in love with a Duke of Hell.
@xanderk84
How can you know anything about the dislikes when YouTube hid them years ago?
@amadandearbhte4318
There are always dislikes, besides, it's a Good Omens joke. Chill
