No Regrets, No Looking Back
by @daveyboy103
Liner Notes
These lyrics tell the story of someone embracing life with a renewed sense of freedom, joy, and optimism after recovering from a past romantic disappointment.
Life is short, the past cannot be changed, and happiness comes from embracing the present, remaining open to new possibilities, and living authentically without regret.
Lyrics
[Intro] Oh yeah All summer long Come on now
[Verse 1] I wake up living like today's the only shot No looking backwards, giving yesterday a thought I'm chasing moonlight, chasing neon in the heat Got the whole city moving underneath my feet
All night long All summer long Doing it my way now Singing my song
[Pre-Chorus] I'm gonna dance till the sky turns gold And when the morning comes I'll still be on a roll
[Chorus] I'm living every day Like it's the last one I got No regrets, no looking back Giving everything I've got
All night All summer Doing it the way I wanna
All night All summer Living like there's no tomorrow
[Verse 2] It was a crush Yeah, I couldn't get enough Had me spinning round and round Till the wheels came off
It was a rush Maybe I said too much But that's just how it goes When you're chasing love
So I let it go Watched it drift away And found a better rhythm Waiting for me anyway
[Pre-Chorus] No chains No games No holding me down
The sun keeps shining And I'm owning this town
[Chorus] I'm living every day Like it's the last one I got No regrets, no looking back Giving everything I've got
All night All summer Doing it the way I wanna
All night All summer Living like there's no tomorrow
[Bridge, Breakdown, Bass & Claps] Been down low Been up high Seen the rivers running dry
But every storm eventually fades And every dark cloud rolls away
What matters now Is this moment here Got my groove back, baby Crystal clear
(Hey!) I ain't worried (Hey!) I'm still moving (Hey!) I'm still grooving (Hey!) Living free
(Ooh) Come on now
(Ahh-ahh)
Feel that groove
[Final Chorus, Gospel Soul Choir]
I'm living every day Like it's the last one I got No regrets, no looking back Giving everything I've got
All night All summer Doing it the way I wanna
All night All summer Living like there's no tomorrow
[Outro Build] Now I found another spark Another light out in the dark
The good life gave my heart a rush And I don't need yesterday's crush
One chance came and passed me by I smiled and let it wave goodbye
Now I'm dancing under open skies With the future in my eyes
[Outro] All night All summer
Doing it my way
All night All summer
Feeling alright
Oh yeah Feeling alright

everything i have loved in your music is in full force here. and a lot more going on that i have not heard from you before, like that senaglese styled guitar runs and a rhythm that i cant quite pin down but feels like it comes from any number of carribean ports of call. and i really love how you can transform fairly simple words into fantastic lyrics.. above all, i just love your vocals as they move effortlessly from reflection to exhilaration. this is a song that is like a bevy of pretty girls. there is so much to co choose from that you cant make your mind up on which one too choose, its all a mad dash engaging all the senses.
Thanks Bill
This has the feel good factor, an absolute abundance of hooks!! I especially enjoyed the bridge and spoken breakdown before the final chorus, and like how you stripped the chorus back on the third lines. The guitar was groovy af too
Thanks
Wow this is impressive. Got a nice thriving grove to the sound. Upbeat song about a magical summer night.
