The Best Day of My Life
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe that I'm late again
Put down about a quart of caffeine
To start my pulse and then
I grabbed my jeans off the floor
Then I hit the door
Just the same old same
When everything's about to change
[chorus]
Just another day
It started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life
Can't say exactly what it was
She's not the usual type
She wore a cowboy hat with her red Prada boots
And a Gwen Stefani smile
Then she pulled out a pen
And surprised me when
She wrote her number on my hand
Then she was gone, from now on
I'm gonna be a different man
[chorus]
Just another day
It started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life
I guess it goes to show
You never really know
When everything's about to change
[chorus]
Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life
Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
And just another day that I
Had the best day of my life
(Started out like any other, the best day of my life)
Started out like any other (Took my breath away)
Had the best day of my life (The best day of my life)
Had the best day of my life (Took my breath away)
(The best day of my life)
(Had the best day of my life) The best day of my life
(The best day of my life)
(The best day of my life)
Had the best day of my life
