The Day Before You
Embracing Tomorrow: The Transformative Power of Love in Matthew West's 'The Day Before You'
Lyrics
I had all but given up on finding the one
I had almost given up on finding true love.
That I could fall into
I was searching for a deep connection, someone to fall in love with.
On the day before you
This realization occurred just before meeting the person mentioned in the song.
I was ready to settle for less than love
I was willing to accept a love that was less than ideal.
And not much more
Settling for something not much more than basic.
There was no such thing as a dream come true
I didn't believe in dreams coming true at that time.
But that was on the day before you
All these feelings were experienced just before the person's arrival.
Now you're here and everything's changing
The person has arrived, and life is undergoing significant positive changes.
Suddenly life means so much
Life has gained newfound importance and meaning.
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
Anticipation and excitement about the future with this person.
And find out this promise is true
Hoping that the promises made by this person will come true.
I will never have to go back
Expressing the desire never to return to the state of life before meeting the person.
To the day before you
Emphasizing the rejection of the past, specifically the day before meeting the person.
In your eyes I see forever
Seeing eternity and a lasting connection in the eyes of the person.
And it makes me wish that my life never knew
Wishing that life had always included this person.
The day before you
Reflecting on the positive impact of the person on the speaker's life.
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you
Acknowledging that the years without the person have contributed to personal growth.
Were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
Suggesting that the past experiences were preparing the speaker for meeting the person.
And if you're the reason for all I've been through
Expressing gratitude for the person being the reason behind the challenges faced.
Then I'm thankful for the day before you
Thankfulness for the day before meeting the person, as it led to personal development.
Now you're here and everything's changing
Reiteration of the positive changes brought about by the presence of the person.
Suddenly life means so much
Life has become more meaningful since the person's arrival.
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
Anxiously looking forward to the future with the person.
And find out this promise is true
Hoping that the promises made by the person will be realized.
I will never have to go back
Expressing the commitment never to return to the day before meeting the person.
To the day before you
It was the last day that I ever lived alone
Highlighting that the day before meeting the person was the last day of living alone.
And I'm never going back
A firm decision not to return to the previous state of solitude.
No, I'm never going back
A strong emphasis on not going back to a life without the person.
Now you're here and everything's changing
Reiteration of the transformative impact of the person on the speaker's life.
Suddenly life means so much
Life has gained significance and value due to the person's presence.
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
Anticipation and eagerness for the upcoming days with the person.
And find out this promise is true
Hope that the promises made will manifest in the future.
I will never have to go back to
Commitment never to go back to a life without the person.
I will never have to go back to
Reiteration of the commitment to never return to the day before meeting the person.
The day before you
The day before you
-I'm never going back
Absolute refusal to go back to the day before meeting the person.
I'm never going back
Stating the determination never to return to the previous state of life.
To the day before you
Final affirmation of the resolution to never go back to the day before meeting the person.
