Bad Days
Embracing Sunshine: Overcoming Bad Days in Love
Lyrics
I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray
I was aware that a change in the weather was expected.
But i didn't know it'd never go away
I didn't anticipate that the gray weather would persist indefinitely.
Until i answered when my telephone rang
I realized the persistent gloominess when I answered a phone call.
Bad days coming my way
Anticipation of challenging times ahead, metaphorically referred to as "Bad days."
'cause i heard my baby saying
I overheard my partner expressing intentions to leave me.
She's gonna be leaving me
Confirmation that the partner is planning to end the relationship.
Bad days must be on my tracks
Feeling that difficulties are following me, possibly indicated by the partner's departure.
'cause i heard my baby saying
Reiteration of the partner's intention to not return.
She won't be coming back
Emphasis on the challenging times ("Bad days").
Bad days
Repetition of the phrase "Bad days" for emphasis.
Followed by those awful nights
Highlighting that difficult days are followed by equally distressing nights.
I could've told you she was tired of my ways
A realization that the partner was tired of the narrator's behavior.
I had no more surprises up my sleeve
The narrator acknowledges that there were no more surprises to salvage the relationship.
But when she went away it sure surprised me, oh
The partner leaving was an unexpected surprise for the narrator.
Bad days must be on my back
A belief that challenging times are persisting and the partner won't return.
'cause i sense my baby's never
The narrator senses that the partner has decided not to come back.
She's never coming back
Reiteration of the partner's permanent departure.
Bad days must be here to stay
The belief that difficult times are enduring.
'cause it seems so long since she
Expressing the prolonged absence since the partner left.
Since she went away
Reiteration of enduring difficult times ("Bad days").
Bad days
Repetition of the phrase "Bad days" for emphasis.
And always those awful nights
Reiteration that challenging days are followed by distressing nights.
So this morning when i slept so late
Describing a morning where the weight of the situation makes it difficult to get up.
I couldn't move beneath the heavy weight
Feeling physically weighed down due to emotional burden.
I heard somebody at my backyard gate, oh
Unexpectedly encountering the partner at the narrator's home.
There she was coming through the haze saying
The partner expresses a desire for reconciliation, introducing a potential positive change.
"hold me, baby, and i hope i'm not too late"
The partner hopes for a rekindled connection, adding optimism to the situation.
Bad days are never coming again
A shift in the narrative, indicating the end of difficult times as the partner commits to staying.
Because i heard my baby say she's
The partner affirms a commitment to stay, signaling the end of challenging times.
She's never leaving me
The partner assures that there won't be a recurrence of leaving.
Happy days
A transition to a positive phase, marked by happiness ("Happy days").
And no more of those awful nights
The end of distressing nights, implying a resolution to the difficulties.
