Three Days
Luke Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe one woman is more than enough
They're gonna lock me up
My friends don't know me
What I've become
It's been three days
Since I've seen her face
It's been three days
God I'm going insane
Got me calling mayday
She's gonna take me out of the game
Take me out of the game
Take me out of this
Talk about a change of heart
She took me out like a shot in the dark
Never saw it coming, nah
I should be out but I'm stuck on this woman
It's been three days
Since I've seen her face
Tell me why her taste is always on my brain
It's been three days
God I'm going insane
Got me calling mayday
She's gonna take me out of the game
Take me out of the game
I know that I want her
I think that I need her
Maybe I love her
I'm flyin' with my feet on the ground
It's been three days
Since I've seen her face
Tell me why her taste is always on my brain
It's been three days
God I'm going insane
Got me calling mayday
She's gonna take me out of the game
Take me out of
Take me out of
Take me out of this game
Take me out of
Take me out of
I'm flyin'
I'm flyin'
Flyin' with my feet on the ground
The lyrics of "Three Days," by Luke Wade, speak to the singer's infatuation with a woman he can't shake from his mind. He fears he is losing control of his thoughts and emotions, and that his friends and loved ones won't recognize him as the person he used to be. The first verse reveals his anxiety and confusion as he grapples with his feelings, wondering if it's possible that one person could be more than enough. He feels like he's losing his grip and becoming a different person, one his friends won't be able to understand.
In the chorus, we see the extent of the singer's obsession with this woman. He can't stop thinking about her, even though he hasn't seen her in three days. The repetition of the phrase "three days" reinforces the idea that he's fixated on her, unable to let go of his attraction despite his fear that he's losing his grip. He's so consumed by his feelings that he worries he'll be taken out of the game, losing whatever control he had left.
The second verse introduces a twist in the story, as the singer reveals that the woman has taken him by surprise. He didn't see it coming, but now he's stuck on her. His feelings have only intensified since she first appeared in his life, and he can't shake her from his mind. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's desperation and anxiety.
Overall, "Three Days" is a song about infatuation and how it can hijack our lives. The singer feels like he's losing control and fears the worst, but he's unable to pull himself away from the woman who has captured his heart. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is in turmoil, struggling to make sense of their emotions and the chaos taking over their life.

I'm flyin' with my feet on the ground
I am experiencing a joyous feeling while still staying grounded
