These Days lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro]
And, when I first met you (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
You were still young at heart
Oh! (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Oh, oh!
Bliss on the beat, baby

[Chorus]
These days, nothin' matters when I look into your face
Nothin' in my past is a mistake
If it led me to this motherf*ckin' place
Yeah, these, these days
These days I been feelin' free
Drowned all of my demons in my sea
Rowboat never hits the shore
But I don't think I want to anymore

[Post-Chorus]
(More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more)
(More, more, more, more, more)

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I'm feeling freer now, they said it gets better, I see it now
She took my demons out, they talk about love, I believe it now
I was feelin' lost so long, with so many days gone, too many to even count
They never told me how easy it was to feel beaten when off of the beaten route
I thought that life was alone with ice to my bones, and nothin' I could try
I started rockin' designer, but found out that it was not somethin' I could buy
Too many hours I spent dwellin' on the good times
While the clocks' hands waving back at me like goodbye
[Verse 2]
Treat this like a eulogy, I ain’t makin' rap songs
Yeah, I c*m fast, but this music gonna last long
I been too concerned with what they writin' on my new post (For real)
Gotta start to think 'bout what they writin' on my tombstone (For real)
I feel like the emperor, I went and copped some new clothes (Yeah)
But they seein' through me every second like a Hublot (Facts)
Put that sh*t aside, I cannot live just for a replay (Nah)
Ever since you came into my life, you helped me see straight

[Chorus]
These days, nothin' matters when I look into your face
Nothin' in my past is a mistake
If it led me to this motherf*cking place
Yeah, these, these days
These days, I've been feelin' free
Drowned all of the demons in my sea
Rowboat never hits the shore
But I don't think I want to anymore

[Part II]

[Verse 3]
I used to make love songs
When I was alone
Just to pretend to feel how I do now
Thank God I'm with you now
Thank God I'm with you now
Oh-oh, I just wanna make you proud
I just wanna make you proud
[Chorus]
These days, I may regret what I say, but never how I feel
I almost cried when I realized that everything was real
When the brain can't articulate feelings in words, they just come out in tears
No matter what happens, I hope that you know I'll forever be here

[Verse 4]
I was wrong about my song
“The Man On My Left Shoulder”, 'cause he's been gone ever since you called
So I'll admit, it was not true, you're the reason I got through
I knew it was love when I knew I'd feel lost if I ever lost you

[Interlude]
That's why when you believe in me, I can't describe what that means to me
You help me see what I can't see in me
Easily, I need to be between your arms, let's make this our secret song
But I can't keep a secret when I feel I need to scream it all (All!)
Can't even fall, I can't leave it all in the dust
Because, no matter what, I fear that it's never gon' be enough
To repay for all of the trust, and the days I crawled in the rough
Guess it made for a better story, was makin' all of it up
And then it came true, you help me hope when I'm faithless (Oh)
Add a scope when I'm aimless
Help me smile when I'm faceless, help me feel when I'm numb
Help me hide when there's nowhere left to run
Nowhere left to—
[Chorus]
These days, I may regret what I say, but never how I feel
I almost cried when I realized that everything was real
When the brain can't articulate feelings in words, they just come out in tears
No matter what happens, I hope that you know I'll forever be here

[Outro]
Oh
I'll forever be here
Oh
Oh
