Story Behind The Song
True story about someone I was involved with. I wrote the song as the relationship was slipping away.
Song Description
Narrator is superstitiously making a wish at 11:11 that he can keep his love affair alive. He met his mate at 11:11 and now she is threatening to end the relationship just as the clock is hitting 11:11. He pleads to her that if she stays with him, "every day could be Saturday, every night could be the 4th of July", because it seems that every moment they spend together is bliss.

Lyrics
VERSE
It?s 11:11 and I?m making a wish
That this day would go on another 23 hours
Cos you bring me to heaven with each passing kiss
And your gypsy blue eyes are giving me the powers
PRECHORUS
To see just how good my life could be
So would you please, take this ride with me
CHORUS
Cos every day could be Saturday
Every night could be the 4th of July
If you don?t walk away
If you only just give it a try
Don?t walk away
VERSE
It was 11:11 I remember the place
When we first met I thought you looked familiar
You said I?m just a stranger with a common face
But if you give me a chance and if you have no fear
PRECHORUS
We can see just how good our life could be
So if you'd please, don?t give up on me
CHORUS
Cos every day could be Saturday
Every night could be the 4th of July
If you don?t walk away
If you only just give it a try
Every day could be Saturday
Every night could be the 4th of July
If you don?t walk away
If you only just give it a try
BRIDGE
Cos babe I know what you?re thinking
Don?t you know I can read your mind
You think this passion we?re sinking in
Is just a waste of time
CHORUS
But every day could be Saturday
Every night could be the 4th of July
If you don?t walk away
\If you only just give it a try
Every day could be Saturday
Every night could be the 4th of July
If you don?t walk away
If you only just give it a try
Don?t walk away
Don?t walk away
It?s 11:11 and I?m making a wish
