DAY BY DAY
Francesca Castro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't have to ask if I'm okay
Cuz either way, I'm just one call away
We have to go our separate ways
Even if you have to cross the bay
Cuz either way, we'll take it day by day
Or learn the things you know
So I've decided to become a pro
And start my own show
I will discover on this test
I'll find myself like all the rest
I promise you that I will do my best
The song "Day by Day" by Francesca Castro expresses the concept of letting go and moving on. The first stanza indicates that the singer is aware that it is time to say goodbye, and that regardless of how she feels about it, she is still accessible to listen and provide support. In the second stanza, the separation will occur no matter how far they may have to part from each other. The point is that they'll take life day by day, accepting what the future holds without succumbing to sadness.
In the final stanza, Castro claims that in order to grow, she must leave because if she stays, she will never learn the things that the other person knows. As a result, she decides to start her own show and push herself to perform well. She aspires to go through a journey of personal growth that will lead her to self-discovery. She vows to give it her best shot, and speaks highly of her ability to progress and succeed, despite the challenges that lie ahead. In conclusion, "Day by Day" is a song about making tough choices in life, striving to learn and improve, moving on from the past, and taking charge of one's own success.

We've got to say goodbye today
Today is the day we have to say goodbye to each other
Don't have to ask if I'm okay
You don't have to ask me how I'm feeling
Cuz either way, I'm just one call away
No matter how I feel, I'm always available if you need me
We have to go our separate ways
We have to go in different directions
Even if you have to cross the bay
Even if you have to make a big effort to do it
Cuz either way, we'll take it day by day
Regardless of the distance or difference in our lives, we'll take it one day at a time
And if you stay with me then I will never grow
If you don't leave me, I will never grow and learn new things
Or learn the things you know
Or learn the things that you have knowledge about
So I've decided to become a pro
That's why I've decided to become a professional
And start my own show
And start my own thing, on my own terms
I will discover on this test
I will find out more about myself through this experience
I'll find myself like all the rest
I'll find myself like everyone else does
I promise you that I will do my best
I promise that I will give it my all
