Deacon Free - Days Pass By Lyrics

You won't know what it is to lose what you fight for
Hiding behind the curtain safe from the pain and the failure
But when your pride is struck will you stop, will you learn
Life isn't always what you want, what you thought, what you pay for

It's early in the morning
The sun's about to rise
Drinking coffee with the woman
I pretend will become wife
Now we speak 'bout having children
About how many, where and when
While the TV in the kitchen
Says the world is gonna end

While the spring turns from summer to winter
The days keep on passing us by
Tell me how many of you feel you're alive
Alive

Oooh

Now the sun falls in the evening
I'm laying in bed
I can see the stars above me through the ceiling and the fan
I let go of the gripping and the comfort takes ahold
Of the weight that I'm lifting
Freeing peace of mind and love
"Oh, I wasted all my younger years," says the cartoon part of me
And all the while the world is turning

While the spring turns from summer to winter
The days keep on passing us by
Tell me how many of you feel you're alive
Or waiting to die

Oooh

I was waiting for the weekend
To live how I wanted in the week
Wasting away on a mountain
Breathing fire from my teeth
Hoarding pennies underneath me

The days pass by
The days pass by
The days pass by
Oh, the days pass by
