Seven Days
Email Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me, she gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me, woe is me
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see
It's him or me
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late
The fact that he's six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me, The Mighty Flee
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me in time for his tea
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
Perhaps I need a drink
IQ is no problem here
We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear
I need that beer
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late
Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so
Seven days, so many ways
But I can't run away
But I can't run away
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late
Sunday'd be too late
Do I have to tell a story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
In Email Band's "Seven Days," the singer is presented with a difficult ultimatum from the love of his life. He had thought he had the competition beat, but a new suit has appeared and he knows he needs to make a choice. While he hates to make the decision since he feels his options are quickly dwindling, he knows it has to be done. He's left with the choice of either making the girl his or letting her go to his rival.
He goes through each day of the week, contemplating the timing and the options available to him, ultimately deciding that he can't wait until Sunday to make his choice. He knows he loves her and that he can't run away from his feelings. This is all conveyed through clever metaphors and witty wordplay that paints the picture of a man struggling with a decision that could shape the rest of his life. The lyrics are both humorous and poignant, and the underlying message is both relatable and timeless.

@wildthingskota
Not really. You signed their terms of service and agreement. While creating a psn account, you agreed not to violate their code of conduct. Suing them will make you humiliate yourself in front of everyone. Because you violated their code of conduct. That's pretty much their whole case. It's not their fault you couldn't read it or was too lazy to read the entire terms of service lol
