1000 Times A Day
The Early November Lyrics

A thousand times a day I tell you I love the way you sing,
I express my love for you and the way you sing, repeatedly and consistently throughout the day.

Even though it makes me cry, it's my favorite time to be alive,
Despite the emotional impact of hearing you sing, it remains my favorite moment in time.

And all I know is I feel lost without you.
I feel incomplete and lack a sense of direction when you are not around.

“I miss you,” is not enough.
Simply stating that I miss you doesn't accurately convey the depth of my emotions.

I know the story's old; it's been told a million times before,
The details of our romantic journey are not unique and have been experienced by countless others.

But to tell it feels so good.
However, recounting our story brings joy and happiness to me.

It reminds me that not all I do is right,
Recalling our tale serves as a reminder that I am not always infallible or perfect.

And all I know is I feel so lost without you.
Your absence causes me to feel adrift and without purpose.

Now I remember the day I was a kid in 8th grade.
An earlier memory that is significant to our relationship is being recalled.

Your friend tapped me on my shoulder and asked if I would be your boyfriend.
Your friend inquired if I was interested in romantically pursuing you.

Oh, yeah, we were intense then.
Our early relationship was passionate and all-consuming.

We would walk and hold hands.
We engaged in typical, young love behavior such as hand-holding.

You were taller than me then I got a friend to tell you that,
You were initially taller than me, and I asked a friend to help me relay a message to you.

I didn't wanna be anymore.
I no longer wanted to remain in a romantic relationship with you.

So then for 3 more years we would never talk,
We had a period where we were no longer in communication with each other.

And I'm not gonna lie though, I couldn't stop thinking about you.
Despite the lack of communication, thoughts of you occupied my mind continually.

Then your best friends came over and I got them to call you,
I arranged for your friends to contact you.

To see if you wanted to watch the band play “Dude Ranch.”
I invited you to attend a band's show with me.

I knew that that would impress you,
I believed that the concert would impress you.

So then we got to talking and before we knew it we were always on the phone,
As a result of our conversation, we began talking frequently on the phone.

Talking until 4 in the morning.
We talked for extended periods, sometimes until late hours or early morning.

Yeah, there was only one problem.
However, one issue still required resolution.

Now, I never knew your man, never talked to him,
I had never met nor spoken with your significant other.

And still until this day I feel bad for it, but I knew that I loved you,
I still feel some guilt for my lack of communication with your partner, but I realized I had strong feelings for you.

And I knew that I had to do something.
I recognized that I needed to take action regarding my feelings towards you.

So I waited till the day you broke up with him.
I waited until you ended your previous relationship.

We had a barbeque at our friend Jim's,
We attended a barbecue hosted by a mutual friend.

Then we strolled to the backyard and that's where we shared our first kiss.
It was in Jim's backyard where we had our initial romantic kiss.

Then you watched the band play with all your friends,
You watched the band performance in the company of your friends.

And we played our set of Millencolin and Chocking Victim.
Our band performed with bands named Millencolin and Chocking Victim.

I guess that didn't impress you,
Our band's performance did not appear to leave an impression on you.

‘Cause than an hour later between you and your friends,
An hour later, you confided in your friends.

You told me that you didn't want to be anymore.
You expressed that you did not want to remain in our romantic relationship.

But then a while later we got back together,
After some time passed, we decided to reconcile our romantic relationship.

And we told each other we would be forever.
We made a commitment to each other that our relationship would be everlasting.

And since that day we had our share of problems,
Our relationship has not been without its share of issues.

And now we know that it's hard but better together.
Our relationship can be challenging, but we are better together than apart.

Oh, yeah, it's better together.
Our relationship is stronger when we are united.

So now we have a house and a couple pets.
We now share a home and have added pets to our family.

We're even getting married 9 years after it.
After being in a long-term relationship, we are preparing to get married nine years after meeting.

And every time I see you,
Continuing to this present time,

I still hear trumpets.
I still feel a surge of emotion and excitement every time I am in your presence.
