365 days
Melanie Baker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We drove for days, days on end
We watched the sun set and rise 365 times
Again and again and again
And we told silly jokes that made much more sense in our heads but we laughed anyway
Again and again again
And I fell for you the way the way you fell for life that night
And so did I
And you took me in your arms and said
"I wanna see the whole world" and so we did

We chased shooting stars and made wishes every time that we would stay alive just for another
And maybe even travel to outer space
I didn't know if this would last or if it was just all a show
Take your bow when you got bored and leave the stage
Leave me all alone
But I didn't mind
I was in love with you and your beautiful mind

And I fell for you the way you fell for life that night
And so did I
And you took me in your arms and said
"I'm in love with you but I'm in love with the world too"
We drove for days, days on end




We watched the sun set and rise 365 times
Again and again and again.
