  • These days,

    I know you moved onto someone new
    Hope life is beautiful
    You were the light for me to find my truth
    I just wanna say, thank you

    Leaving to find my soul
    Told her I had to go
    And I know it ain't pretty
    When our hearts get broke
    Too young to feel this old
    Watching us both turn cold
    Oh, I know it ain't pretty
    When two hearts get broke
    Yeah, I know it ain't pretty
    When two hearts get broke

    I hope someday we'll sit down together
    And laugh with each other about these days, these days
    All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
    We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days

    Oh ho, oh I know
    Oh, oh I know
    Oh ho, oh I know
    These days, these days
    Oh ho, oh I know
    Oh, oh I know
    Oh ho, oh I know
    These days, these days

    Three years of ups and downs
    Nothing to show for it now
    And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out
    Calling me when I'm drunk, remind me of what I've done
    And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeah

    I hope someday we'll sit down together
    And laugh with each other about these days, these days
    All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
    We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days

    Oh I know, I know
    Oh I know, I know
    Oh I know, I know
    These days, these days
    Oh I know, I know
    Oh I know, I know
    Oh I know, I know
    To these days, these days

    Cigarettes in the ashtray
    Reminiscing on those past days
    I thought you'd end up with my last name
    But that changed
    And I travelled around the world
    Think where you living at now?
    I heard you moved to Austin
    Got an apartment and settled down
    And every once in a while
    I start texting
    Write a paragraph
    But then I delete the message
    Think about you like a past time
    I could cry you a river
    Get you baptised or
    I wasn't ready to act right
    Used to always think I'd get you back, right
    They say that things fall apart
    We were gonna move to Brooklyn
    You were gonna study Art
    Love is just a tool
    To remind us who we are
    And that we are not alone
    And we're walking in the dark

    I hope someday we'll sit down together
    And laugh with each other about these days, these days
    All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and
    We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days

    We'll wish we could come back to these days, these days (these days, these days, these days) Writer/s: Amir Izadkhah, Ben Haggerty, Daniel Sebastian Caplen, Jamie Scott, John Henry Ryan, Julian Colin Bunetta, Kesi Dryden, Leon Rolle, Piers Sean Aggett
