| Phil Collins – Everyday Lyrics

This song is almost autobiographical for me. I was with someone who was totally amazing in every way (smart, funny, beautiful, passionate, accomplished, family-oriented: the total package); she was more than I could ever, ever wish for. We were totally taken with each other and completely happy together. Somehow, over a short period of time,I became convinced that I was not enough for her... I lacked confidence and I thought that I'd hold her back. I also had a pretty dangerous job that would require us to be apart for long periods of time and I was obligated to do that job for a number of years. I decided to end the relationship (my love for her made me act so strangely). It crushed her and it crushed me, too. I was so completely in love with her even after leaving her. I thought of her/still think of her everyday (multiple times a day). We didn't communicate almost at all (a couple short phone calls and a card) over an 18 year period. I married someone else and have a family (here I am and here I will stay). After 18 years apart, I decided I had to find her... we have resumed communicating and have stay in contact for the past 10 years. She never married but is in a relationship (no kids). She and I still love each other. I'm unable to let my love for her see the light of day because I vowed to be faithful to my wife. The only part of the song that isn't accurate for me is that I never, ever tried to forget her and I don't think I'm worth nothing without her. I was so wrong to leave her... she and I would have been amazing together. |

I think this song is about a relationship that never got the chance to succeed ("star-crossed, you and me"); a relationship in which both of the participants have moved-on with their lives but both have always truly wished they were able to be together... their love and desire for each other is always in the background and it can't blossom and flourish because of their circumstances, so they will be "forever blue"... "wait for me" might mean that both secretly they wish for some change, perhaps the afterlife, that will allow them to be together. |

I was in love with an amazing woman... we met as freshmen in college (she dated friends of mine) and I was immediately blown-away by her in every way (smart, funny, exciting, beautiful, accomplished, polished, sexy: the total package). Toward the end of college we dated a little; we continued our relationship from a distance after college for a few years... we grew closer and closer... in late 1983 we spent an amazing long weekend together: she was everything I could ever want or need and I was pretty sure she loved me as much as I loved her (I was totally and completely in love with her). After that weekend I began to think that my profession (I was in the military) would prevent me from allowing her to be truly happy and fulfilled in her profession because of my constant moves to different cities/countries. She was also fearful for my safety in my military profession (I was doing dangerous things most every day). Couple what I perceived about her with the fact that I lacked a lot of confidence in myself in the personal relationship arena and I eventually came to the conclusion that our love for each other would not be enough to fulfill her if she gave-up her professional life for me and my career (I was very obligated to the military for a number of years at that point)... ultimately, I thought that my life and career would cause her to be constantly worried and eventually unhappy. I loved her too much to see her unhappy or to be the cause of her unhappiness. I decided to walk away from our relationship; I've regretted it ever since. Every single day since then I've thought of her and of what we could have been together. In retrospect, I realize that we could have/would have been great. I'm married now and have a family; she never married. Although I love my wife (I have always been faithful) and my family and family life, I have never forgotten my first love and I have always been in love with her. For me this song is intensely personal because I have never stopped loving my first love and often wish I could have just one more day with her; because I am totally faithful to my wife I can never have just one more day with my first love... for me this song is exactly about my longing for something that can never be. |
