These Days
These days,
These days, you're the only thing that makes sense,
These days, everything's changing and everyone seems so tense,
These days, everyone's living it as if it's just the end of these days.
Wasting time, cause it's all we have to spend, these days.
Cause we're broke, accounts are overdrawn,
Losing hope, but you keep me holding on,
I know it’ll be alright,
As you pull me a little closer to you tonight.
We’re alone, everyone is gone,
You help me cope, cause you're the only one,
Gonna show it’ll be alright,
As you pull me a little closer to you tonight.
Then never let me go,
Just pull me a little closer baby,
For a hundred years or so.
These days, when the news never slows down,
These days, it's another hero that they're putting in the ground,
These days, seems like way more than anyone can take,
These days, if I didn't have you, I would throw it all away, these days,
Cause we're broke, accounts are overdrawn,
Losing hope, but you keep me holding on,
I know it’ll be alright,
As you pull me a little closer to you tonight.
We’re alone, everyone is gone,
You help me cope, cause you're the only one,
Gonna show it’ll be alright,
As you pull me a little closer to you tonight.
Then never let me go,
Just pull me a little closer baby,
For a hundred years or so, ohh-ohh.
(Never let me go, never let me go,
Just ha-ha-hold me,)
Pull me a little closer to you tonight,
(Never let me go, never let me go,
Just ha-ha-hold me,)
Pull me a little closer the rest of our lives,
(Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, never let me go,)
Pull me a little closer and we’ll be fine.
(Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, never let me go,)
And we’ll wash away the pain,
(Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go, never let me go,)
Of these days,
These days,
Oh, these days.
