Two More Days
Christel Alsos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One daft smile when I know you're not trying to
I need a little more noise a little more attitude
Two more days and a different point of view
You've got me dancin'
Drag me 'cross the floor
And you weren't laughing
And when the song was over
You looked at me and said
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
Two more days and I'd fallen in love with you
Two more days and would I've been pursued
My words just never come out the way I plan
I should've made things clare
and now I don't think I can
So you got me dancin'
Drag me 'cross the floor
And you weren't laughing
You seemed so insecure
And when the song was over
You looked at me and said
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
So you got me dancin'
Drag me 'cross the floor
And you weren't laughing
You seemed so insecure
And when the song was over
You looked at me and said
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
Two more days and I'd fallen in love with you
The lyrics of Christel Alsos's "Two More Days" describe a brief and intense attraction experienced during a social gathering or party. The singer has fallen in love with someone in just two days, but hasn't had the chance to pursue a relationship or express their feelings - the opportunity has passed, and the person they are attracted to has walked away. The song highlights the main character's regret and introspection, and the feeling of longing for something that could have been.
The first two lines of the song, "Two more days and I'd fallen in love with you / One daft smile when I know you're not trying to," suggest that the singer may be somewhat impulsive when it comes to romantic feelings. The phrase "daft smile" may convey that the person did not exactly intend to smile or was not aware of smiling, but that the singer took their smile as a sign of something more.
Throughout the song, the singer admires this person, mentioning things like needing "a little more noise, a little more attitude" (suggesting they may be attracted to more outgoing, confident people) and feeling like their words "just never come out the way I plan." The singer describes being "dragged" and danced with by this person, who is also "insecure" at times. Despite this, the singer seems to be convinced that they have missed their chance, as the person they like has already walked away.
Overall, "Two More Days" is a song that captures the feeling of regret over a missed opportunity for love. It also touches upon the bittersweet nature of falling for someone too fast, and not being able to express one's true feelings before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
Two more days and I'd fallen in love with you
Only two days passed and I had already developed feelings for you
One daft smile when I know you're not trying to
Even your silly smile made me feel happy, and I know you didn't do it purposely
I need a little more noise a little more attitude
I want you to express yourself more and show me more of your personality
Two more days and a different point of view
If I had spent two more days with you, I might have seen things differently
You've got me dancin'
You made me want to dance
Drag me 'cross the floor
You pulled me across the dance floor
And you weren't laughing
You weren't making fun of me
You seemed so insecure
You appeared unsure of yourself
And when the song was over
After the song had ended
You looked at me and said
You turned to me and spoke
I can't stop myself, then you turned and walked away
You confessed that you couldn't help yourself, and then you left
Two more days and would I've been pursued
Had I stayed with you for two more days, would you have chased after me?
My words just never come out the way I plan
I struggle to express myself the way I intended
I should've made things clare
I should've made things clearer
and now I don't think I can
I'm not sure if I can fix things now
