I always love working with Ai Means Love. We have had so much fun making tracks together (), I was even asked to be featured in two of his songs in his debut album (). I can always count on Ai Means Love. to add his own flair to our projects together, whether it may be trumpets or jazzy piano motifs. Wednesday is a breakup song with a storyline. Throughout the song I move from Monday to Wednesday, each day describing my feelings of the breakup that is on my mind. Each day I try to break up with my partner, everyday failing until the fateful Wednesday where I finally break away. The last section is me second-guessing my decision that I had worked so hard for, was it the right one to make?
lyrics
Monday is the day imma break away love, can you stop acting like you were born yesterday hun?
Play that music loud, hold your head up high, I won’t be around next time you say goodbye
Monday is the day imma break away love, love
Why are you acting out calling me these names, love?
Thought we talked it out, found common ground yesterday love, love
You say that you’re my moon and I am your sun, puppy dog eyes flowers by the bunch
Tuesday is the day imma break away love
(Tuesday is the day imma break away)
I see you, I know that I’ve had one foot out of the door for so long, does this mean we can still go on?
Looking for something new, you’re jealous of me, I’m tired of you
Looking for something new, you’ll get over me soon
Wednesday is the day imma break away love, love
The third times a charm ain’t that what they say, love?
you had me at goodbye, baby say no more, before you changed your mind I leapt out that door
Wednesday was the day that I broke away
(Wednesday was the day that I broke away, Wednesday was the day Wednesday was the day)
Was it all a dream really cannot say, a figment of my over imaginative brain
Maybe it was Monday or Tuesday, was it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or yesterday?
Try to go sleep I just stay awake, am I in a dream that I can’t escape?
