Everyday Is A Holiday
Esthero; Sean Lennon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up on Friday, changed my whole life to make some room
Around a quarter to two, I have remembered all my lines
I'll say "When I think of you, you're like my favorite song
Or that melody, that melody I love"
And it goes, La da da da da da da da
Hopped on the metro and I make my way home
And if the rumors are true, I can look forward to
Some better days and getaways, so nice
'Cause when I am with you, you're the crescendo to that melody
That melody I love, yeah, da da da da
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
You've gotta let me know, gotta know for sure
Don't leave me out in the cold, gotta know for sure
La la la la la la la la
When I think of you, I see
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
Better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you
The lyrics of Sean Lennon's song "Everyday Is a Holiday" depict the story of falling in love quickly and the impact that love has on one's everyday life. The song begins with the singer recounting how they fell in love with someone they met on a Sunday and loved by Tuesday afternoon. The following Friday, the singer has already changed their life just to make room for their newfound love. This kind of sudden and intense passion is something that many people can relate to, and the lyrics capture that feeling perfectly.
The second stanza continues to explore the impact that love has on the singer's life. They ride the metro home thinking about their new love interest and realizing that they can't get them out of their mind. The singer also mentions that if the rumors are true, they have better days and getaways to look forward to. This can be interpreted as a reference to the idea that being in love can make life feel like a never-ending vacation, full of fun and excitement.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea by repeating the phrase "Everyday is a holiday with you" multiple times. The singer suggests that being with their love interest feels like a crescendo to their favorite melody. This metaphor perfectly captures how falling in love can bring light and clarity to one's life, making everything seem more beautiful and vibrant. In the end, the singer begs to be reassured that their love is true and won't leave them feeling cold and alone.
