Every Day
Joolie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Four hundred days of missing you
Boxes of bones and the color blue
My heart forever feels it isn't meant to be
But you looked at me like no one else

Where did I go wrong
Where are you now
How did I fuck this up
Why did you tell me that it couldn't work out

Places and people change the most
I can't control my heart and that's just gross
Your love alone made me cry every night in my bed
Now you decided what was best for you instead

Don't call me back
You're the one who fucked it up
You made me so sad
I hope you think about me
Every day
Every day
Every day

You might think I'm cold
I'm trying my best to grow old




Your love only brings me down
Now all I wanna do is see you drown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joolie's song "Every Day" convey a sense of heartbreak and longing for a lost love. The opening lines, "Four hundred days of missing you, Boxes of bones and the color blue," suggest a significant passage of time and emotional weight attached to the absence of the person being referred to. The mention of "boxes of bones" could symbolize remnants or memories associated with this person, while the color blue may represent a sense of sadness or melancholy.


The following lines, "My heart forever feels it isn't meant to be, But you looked at me like no one else," reveal a conflicting internal struggle. Despite feeling that the relationship may not have been destined to work out, the singer holds onto the way this person looked at them, indicating that there was something special and unique about their connection.


The chorus reflects the singer's introspection, questioning where they went wrong, where the person is now, and how they "fucked this up." This portrays a sense of remorse and self-blame, wondering what they might have done differently and why the other person stated that it couldn't work out. The lines "Places and people change the most, I can't control my heart and that's just gross," signify the ever-changing nature of life and relationships. The singer acknowledges their lack of control over their emotions, feeling almost disgusted by their vulnerability.


As the song continues, the lyrics convey a sense of anger and bitterness towards the person who left. The lines "Don't call me back, You're the one who fucked it up, You made me so sad, I hope you think about me" reveal a desire to distance themselves from this person's presence, blaming them for the pain they caused. The repetition of "Every day" in the chorus intensifies the longing for the person's thoughts to be consumed by memories of the singer, perhaps as a way to seek some sort of validation or closure.


Ultimately, the closing lines, "You might think I'm cold, I'm trying my best to grow old, Your love only brings me down, Now all I wanna do is see you drown," showcase the singer's attempt to move on and protect themselves from further hurt. They acknowledge the negative impact that the love from this person had on them and express a desire for them to suffer in return.


Overall, "Every Day" portrays a complex mixture of emotions, including longing, self-doubt, anger, and a desire for closure and self-preservation.

Julie Grant was one of the best British pop singers of the sixties. She made some great singles. Overall I think her record company gave her too many covers of American songs to record. I think ultimately this worked against her.

Roger Black

A lot of British singers had same problem .I think that`s why The Beatles took off .

Chanson60svinyl

Yep, Tony hatch and Jackie trent really regret not promoting her!

Nygel Miller

sadly I heard that Julie Grant has died at 76. Saw a performance, together with group The Merseybeat, from 2010. How she'd lost her LOOKS! Became fatter, had a "grandma" bun at the back of her hair, so, like Queen Victoria, looked very pretty when young, but " paid" for it later in life! Julie's voice in that video was still really excellent though, and when she spoke at the end of the performance, she was really natural and in "affected". So a really nice person, as well as pretty when she was young! Nygel Miller

Over here (in the U.S.) a guy named Steve Alaimo had a minor hit with this song. Saw somewhere that he still tours!

Nygel Miller

@jeff kehoe thanks for replying about Julie Grant! I'm going to look up the guy you mentioned, and see if I can get to hear HIS version!

Thanks for your ridiculously simple summation of people naturally getting older. "pretty when young" but lost her looks and was like a grandma at 76. 76? what do you want ,you wanker, for her to not look like a grandma at 76? She was awesome and always was, a great voice and spirit until the end.
