Some days I couldn't get up, couldn't get down, I'm bored of everything,
Somehow a little black cloud would rain over me.
Someone was making me mad, good turned bad and I'd lose everything,
To get you back just to get you back but...

These days, the world's all right, the sun shines bright,
I'm kicking out the bad dreams.
These days, I don't think twice, I walk on ice,
And I'm positively somewhere.
These days go on, long after you've gone,
These days go on, long after you've gone, these days go on and on.

I'm out of the fire and into the swimming pool,
Sometimes, I'd drown my tears but the same old fears come back.
Someone's been making me ill I bet you're still,
A two, three, four letter word,
Yes, you heard, the pretty little bird's fly home, cause...

These days, the sun kicks in, the good guys win,
I'm illegal in the back seat.
These days I'm safe and sound, not dragged down,
You wanna know the reason?
These days go on, long after you've gone
These days go on, long after you've gone, these days go on and on.

Thank you for not being here, I feel better when you're not,
Sleeping in my head, tossing and turning and messing up the sheets.
The love we made was incomplete, like the shoes on your feet,
Same stuff I've heard it before, that philosophy starting to bore me.
Now you won't have to smile and ignore me.

These days, the karma's right, the sun shines bright,
I'm kicking out the bad dreams.
These days, I don't think twice, I walk on light,
I'm positively somewhere.
These days go on, long after you've gone
These days go on, long after you've gone, these days go on and on.

These days, these days (go on and on and on and on)...
