Day by Day
Rebelution Lyrics

Next thing I knew we were in deep
We progressed in our relationship quickly and without warning.

Hold on to me, cause babe I'm bout to leave
Please cling to me, as I will be departing soon.

She said it never felt so right
My partner expressed that our bond was truly special.

As the time went by
Our relationship evolved and grew stronger with each passing day.

And I was off in the night
I left under the cover of darkness.

She said I don't cry, tonight I cried twice
Although she usually does not cry, she shed tears over my departure.

The thought of you not by my side
The idea of not having me beside her was upsetting.

And I find you the on the emotional type
She discovered that I am a very emotional person.

Hold on to me, we can hold on for life
If we stay together, we can endure anything.

Tell me how you feel when I say this,
Explain how you feel when I say the following.

Our destination is place-less
We have no specific destination or plan for our relationship.

I never understood what it meant when
I previously did not comprehend the significance of...

I said the three words that some people dread
The three words that people are often scared to utter.

That's about as real as it gets
That is a very genuine expression of love and commitment.

I never hold back with my love and intent
I have always been very open and sincere in my feelings and intentions.

Finally figured out what it meant
I have finally realized the true meaning of those three words.

Now there's a spark in my heart times ten
I now have a much stronger and more passionate love for my partner.

Everyday
Each and every day.

Eight days a week was the song that I'd play
I used to listen to 'Eight Days a Week' by The Beatles every day, including an extra day each week.

Eight times for me and eight times for the sake
I would play the song eight times for myself and eight times for the sake of our relationship.

Eight times for love and eight times for the way
I would also play the song eight times for love and eight times for the way I felt during those times.

That I can remember those days
I can still vividly recall those moments in our relationship.

You and every minute wasn't all so strange
None of the moments I spent with you felt unfamiliar or uncomfortable.

See you in the spring when the patience pays
I will see you again in the spring, after waiting patiently.

I'm strugglin' but hustlin' and lovin' it, always.
I am working hard and copping with the struggles, while also loving the journey.

I wrote to her eighty-five times
I wrote letters to her on eighty-five different occasions.

Sometimes for her, but sometimes for my
Sometimes I wrote letters for her, but at other times I wrote letters for myself.

Simple collection of lies
The letters sometimes contained a simple collection of falsehoods.

Sometimes to find the way up in a rhyme
At times, I wrote letters in order to find the right words to use in poems.

I woke up one morning to find
One morning, I discovered something while waking up.

It was her first name on a billboard sign
I saw her first name on a large advertisement board.

I smiled and said damn what a trip
I responded with a grin and the thought, 'Wow, what a strange coincidence.'

I was just yesterday I had a kiss for her lips
I had just recently kissed her on the lips.

Usually I don't make much of this
I do not usually consider such coincidences to be significant.

A sign's a sign it doesn't change it a bit
A coincidence is just that, a coincidence, and has no effect on anything.

I choose to stay calm in my sleep
I prefer to remain relaxed, even during my sleeping hours.

Seeing the prize on April nineteenth
I am eagerly anticipating a specific event or goal on April 19th.

That was then, I was down to a week
At that time, I was left with only seven days to wait.

Longest seven days of my life so to speak
Those seven days felt like an eternity, so to speak.

I sip up my tea so sweet
I am enjoying some sweet tea.

And my head thirsts the girl I've been dying to see
At the same time, I am eagerly awaiting the sight of the girl that I have been longing to see.
