Born in New York City and raised on Long Island, Lohan was signed to Ford Models at the age of three. Having appeared as a regular on the television soap opera Another World at age 10, her breakthrough came in the Walt Disney Pictures film The Parent Trap (1998). The film's success led to appearances in the television films Life-Size (2000) and Get a Clue (2002), and the big-screen productions Freaky Friday (2003) and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004). Lohan's early work won her childhood stardom, while the teen comedy sleeper hit Mean Girls (2004) affirmed her status as a teen idol and established her as a Hollywood leading actress.

Lohan became known as a triple threat after signing with Casablanca Records and releasing two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006). In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007). Her reported behavior during the filming of the dramedy Georgia Rule in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade. She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities. This period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image. In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013), but were both met with negative reviews.

In 2013, under the guidance of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan filmed the docu-series Lindsay (2014), which depicted her returning to work. She subsequently made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), starred in the second season of the comedy series Sick Note (2018), and served as a panelist in the first season of Masked Singer Australia (2019). Between 2016 and 2018, she opened three beach clubs in Greece, which were the focus of the MTV reality television series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club (2019). After signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix, Lohan starred in the romantic comedy Falling for Christmas (2022).

I Live for the Day
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got time
To watch you spin around in circles
Falling through the cracks inside your mind
That's fine
And I've been through the darkest hour
Made it to the other side of you
I can't live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears to fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day

You are high
Thinking you're invincible
So busy building castles in the sky
You're done
And you don't even know it
But your eyes have started showing that it's true
Trying to live without love

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day
I live for the day
Oh oh oh
Yeah
Oh oh oh
I can't live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate and dying inside
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words you finally say
I live for the day
I live for the day

Oh I wanna see you crawling
Oh I wanna see you crawling

Oh I wanna see you crawling
I live for the day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lindsey Lohan's song "I Live for the Day" depict a desire to see someone else, most likely an ex-lover, experience the pain that the singer has gone through. The first verse describes the singer watching the other person "spin around in circles" and "falling through the cracks inside your mind." However, the singer seems to be accepting of this behavior and states that it's okay. The second verse describes the other person as "thinking you're invincible" and "building castles in the sky." Despite this bravado, the singer knows that the other person is "done" and "does not even know it." The chorus reveals that the singer lives for the day when this other person will "be desperate and dying inside" and "when the tears fall down your face" and "the words you finally say." Ultimately, the singer "can't live without you" and hopes that this other person will come back to them in the future.

Line by Line Meaning

I've got time
I have the time to notice your behavior

To watch you spin around in circles
To see you repeating your negative pattern of behavior

Falling through the cracks inside your mind
Losing control of your thoughts and emotions

That's fine
It's okay, I am still here watching you

And I've been through the darkest hour
I have gone through a tough time before

Made it to the other side of you
I have seen the better side of you

I can't live without you
You are important to me and I want you in my life

I live for the day
I wait for the moment

I live for the night
I look forward to the night

That you will be desperate and dying inside
When you feel hopeless and in despair

I live for the tears to fall down your face
I anticipate your sadness and pain

I live for the words you finally say
I await your confession or apology

Oh I wanna see you crawling
I want you to show me your vulnerable side
