  • If I ever were to lose you
    I'd surely lose myself
    Everything I have found dear
    I've not found by myself
    Try and sometimes you'll succeed
    To make this man of me
    All my stolen missing parts
    I've no need for anymore

    I believe
    And I believe 'cause I can see
    Our future days
    Days of you and me

    Back when I was feeling broken
    I focused on a prayer
    You came deep as any ocean
    Did something out there hear?
    All the complexities and games
    No one wins, but somehow, they're still played
    All the missing crooked hearts
    They may die, but in us they live on

    I believe
    And I believe 'cause I can see
    Our future days
    Days of you and me

    When hurricanes and cyclones raged
    When wind turned dirt to dust
    When floods they came or tides they raised
    Ever closer became us

    All the promises at sundown
    I've meant them like the rest
    All the demons used to come 'round
    I'm grateful now they've left

    So persistent in my ways
    Hey angel, I am here to stay
    No resistance, no alarms
    Please, this is just too good to be gone

    I believe
    And I believe 'cause I can see
    Our future days
    Days of you and me
    You and me
    Days of you and me Writer/s: Eddie Jerome Vedder
