The Days We've Yet To Meet Lyrics - Flogging Molly

[Verse 1] 

Someone asked me where you were today 

I said it wasn't really up to me to say 

I know your head is sinking low 

And your heart beats like a stone 

But it will turn out for the better in the end 

[Chorus 1] 

And now remember you when you were 17 

Still had your hair and life was looking pretty sweet 

But yesterday in hindsight are meant to be 

For it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet 

Yeah it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet 

[Verse 2] 

I read your face inside an open book 

It wasn't long before I took a second look 

But when the emptiness grows small 

And the words are all but gone 

There'll be a better cage to help you on the mend 

[Chorus 2] 

Turn back the time before the seconds disappear 

The same old clock will steal the minutes it now fears 

No telling when or how the hour still agree 

For it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet 

Yeah it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet 

[Bridge] 

On my own and green as hell 

The first night that I saw you 

You told me then this is where and how 

We have so much more to give 

And we sing... 

Lai, ladi ladi lai, dai dai dai, lai lai lai lai dai dai 

Lai, ladi ladi lai, dai dai dai 

[Chorus 1] 

And now remember you when you were 17 

Still had your hair and life was looking pretty sweet 

But yesterdays in hindsight are meant to be 

For it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet 

Yeah it's tomorrow and the days we've yet to meet
