These Are the Days Lyrics

[00:26.07] These are the days
[00:27.81] These are the only days
[00:29.66] This is the only, only
[00:32.54] But these are the days that feel like those other days
[00:36.15] Each moment is open, open
[00:39.38] These are the days I used to see in dreams
[00:42.38] These are the days I told me I would receive
[00:45.85] These are the days I used to believe I was trying to show me
[00:51.58] I could'vе used these days
[00:54.07] Whеn the days were those days
[00:56.18] When the days used to pass so slowly
[00:59.03] And when they have gone
[01:00.23] I will remember these days as the days when I had a focus
[01:04.98] That I do not feel in the moment
[01:07.57] Only the moment I know only the moment the whole sky is broken it opens upon me
[01:13.93] These are the days
[01:16.57] These are the only days
[01:18.93] So why can't I feel them hold me?
[01:22.36] Why must I sit in the wake of the days
[01:25.41] Watching them pass like they are not golden
[01:28.57] These are the golden moments
[01:30.83] But these are the days that I turn my back on
[01:33.97] These are the days I let go of
[01:36.56] Looking for days
[01:38.01] That used to be days
[01:40.20] Or days still to come
[01:42.33] Nothing was broken
[01:43.73] But I made it break
[01:45.27] 'Cause I couldn't wait for the days to be filled with emotion I couldn't rest
[01:50.53] I wanted obsession adrenaline, mess
[01:53.74] I wanted devotion
[01:55.74] But I didn't know
[01:57.14] Why I was so pressed by distraction
[01:59.89] Why I was so desperate to let it all go
[02:04.20] Let it all grow from the moment
[02:06.10] Take it apart just to know it can never be broken
[02:10.67] Make it an art walk-in away from the good ones
[02:13.87] When I should've listened but what's hidden
[02:17.94] Is only revealed when you're looking for patterns
[02:21.95] These are the days when I regained my balance
[02:26.95] For now I am sat without love or compassion
[02:31.72] Defeating myself because I made it happen
[02:35.28] But no more comparisons
[02:36.99] No shade no shame no vanishing flames at the edge of the frame
[02:41.20] No practising only the main it's all spilling out of my veins
[02:44.84] All these mannequins turned when I came looked away how embarrassing
[02:49.70] Stop shouting your name in my ears
[02:52.27] I'm not panicking
[02:54.16] I am right here
[02:56.07] I am right here
[02:57.68] I am managing
[03:00.34] These are the days that the other days span
[03:05.11] Don't bother me don't understand
[03:07.84] Don't follow me into the sand
[03:10.01] Don't wallow in bed until air becomes solid
[03:14.32] You were all presence
[03:16.73] And I was all plans
[03:19.24] But these are the days
[03:21.64] When I felt the days
[03:23.71] Rise in my body
[03:25.87] And I took them in hand
[03:28.38] These are the days
[03:30.66] When I feel the days
[03:32.80] Rise in my body
[03:34.57] And I take them in hand
[03:36.61]
