I feel obliged to catch you up
What are you waiting for?
You've spent all your time
Struggling, I can't get out again

Love changed and your heart
I compromise my own ?

You've spent all your time
Struggling, I can't get out again

Screaming, I can't get out again

The lyrics of Sons et al.'s song Day by Day seem to explore the emotions of a person dealing with the difficulties of a relationship. The first two lines, "You set a lonely pace out front, I feel obliged to catch you up" suggest that one person is leading the relationship forward while the other is struggling to keep up. It may be a metaphorical representation of how one person is more invested in the relationship, while the other is not.
The repeated lines throughout the song, "What are you waiting for? You've spent all your time struggling, I can't get out again" indicate that the singer is frustrated with the other person's indecisiveness, and possibly lack of commitment. The line "Love changed and your heart, I compromise my own" further reinforces the idea that one person is making sacrifices for the sake of the relationship, while the other is not.
Finally, the conclusion of the song "Day by day with you" could suggest that despite the difficulties, the singer is willing to stick it out and move forward with the relationship.
