In the Days (Demo) Lyrics

Collared shirts and fancy shoes

We all want someone to stay the night

But two dollar beers and glasses of booze

Are all we remember by daylight

There were days when we weren't afraid

Of all the things we wanted to be

In the days of rhythm and fantasy

Parked outside the coffeehouse

And you can't believe you made it this far

But you're scared

You want to drive off

Your mouth is too dry

And you can't even play this guitar

So you turn the key

And you drive home

The windows and the stereo high

You sing along to yourself and try not to cry

There were days when moments stood for themselves

And we were all we seemed

In the days of light and childhood dreams

When all we had to do

Was live like we wanted to

And dream about the day

When we could look all around us and say

"I know what I want, and I know where I'm goin

I'm in control of my life and I did it all on my own"

But it didn't turn out to to be so easy

So you stumble from day to day, saying "someone deceived me"

And it's hard to let go of the dreams that you had

But it's harder to keep on trying

And there are days when it isn't so bad

And days when you feel like you're dying

Could this be all there is?

Could this be all there is?

Could this be all there is?

Could this be all there is?

Where are the days when everything is new

And love is all you need

Where are the days they told me were waiting for me?

So you hide yourself away

You think you're an ember undiscovered in a pile of ash

You tell yourself your secrets

And you dream you'll make it through the looking glass

But what good is dreaming of angels and mysteries

Waiting for something new to take the place of your history

How long can you wait before you start to fade?

So here we are

Alive and free

And I don't know about you

But I'm tired of waiting around for something new

These are the days when the world begins to change if you make it so

These are the days you have, so don't let them go
