Mark de Clive-Lowe Lyrics

Two

You tug on my heart strings every time your guitar sings
You got me thinking 'bout how far forever is from now
And how I wanna make it there with you
I listen to your heartbeat in my head
One of the few things getting me out of bed
This is the riskiest thing I've ever tried
All I could ever want is you by my side
I thought I wasn't jealous
But I think I lied
'Cause I can't suppress the butterflies
I still lose my mind when I see your eyes
No I can't mute the cherry cheeks
I've even tried not to breathe
But none of it appears to be working
So I guess it's all going to
Explode
Colors of the day we met
Like autumn how it came and left
But you never did
Sapphire glass staring right back
Someday I'll find the courage to ask
Do you, the way I do love
It could take a life time to kick you out of my mind
And right now all I see is the city skyline in your eyes
Oh how these butterflies cause hearts to collide
I just wish they would do that with yours and not just mine
So if this all implodes to disaster
I hope at least you know
I've loved you since our first september
Yet again
This is the riskiest thing I've ever tried
All I could ever want is you by my side
I swore I wasn't jealous
I didn't mean to lie
Still, I can't suppress the butterflies
I still lose my mind when I see your eyes
No I can't mute the cherry cheeks
I can't try not to breathe
'Cause I have tried everything so I guess it's all going to
Explode
Colors of the day we met
Like autumn how it came and left
But you never did
Sapphire glass staring right back
Someday is now so with courage I ask
Do you, the way I do love you?
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
The lyrics to Mark de Clive-Lowe's "Day by Day" express the feelings of an individual who has fallen deeply in love with someone they care about deeply. The song begins with a reference to the guitar music that the person he is in love with plays, and how it tugs at their heartstrings each time they hear it. The singer realizes that they want to spend their life with their lover and how far they are from that moment. The lyrics also mention the feeling of regret the singer has for not expressing their love for their partner before they left the porch. The rest of the song talks about the risk and fear that the singer holds regarding their love for their partner and about how the feeling they get is uncontrollable and has the potential to explode.
The singer expresses their love through vivid imagery and emotional language. The lyrics are heavily focused on the singer's emotional state, how they feel around their love interest, and the powerful effect the person has on them. The song radiates with hope, anxiety, and passion. The singer is willing to risk everything, put their emotions on the line, and tell their love interest their true feelings. In essence, the song is an ode to the gripping intensity of love, no matter how daunting that feeling may be.
