The Days Lyrics - Night Swim - Josef Salvat

I have lived with another's arms 

Pulling me up till I learned to stand 

On my own two feet, with my own ideas 

And my own beliefs 

Hearts are broken, nations fall 

Youth's bright burn, time eats at all 

But still it starts back up again, 

It never ends 

Bridge: 

Look at me now, I'm here before you 

I finally found the guts to start with nothing to lose 

Nothing to hide and everything to prove 

Chorus: 

When it takes all you've got, what you're made of 

And you learn that the soul has got to change 

So you throw all your cards out the window 

And carry on, making it up on the way 

From the rule you forget by tomorrow 

To the countless doubts, the heights, the blame 

Till you learn how to love and to be loved 

These are the days and you're living them your way 

Every time I try to find the right words, 

Describe the mess, make the sentence heard 

I'd hit another wall, such a narrow mind 

Down we fall 

Sure it's a risk to take it this far 

But how else do you know what the limits are, 

What the dark feels like. I know the crowd holds court 

But they're not always right 

Bridge 

Chorus 

Lights on, it's clearer now 

I wouldn't change a thing 

I wouldn't change a thing 

Chorus
