Frank Turner - Nights Become Days lyrics

We soared in the dawn from
The roof of the bar when nights become days
Then you've gone too far
We've listened to songbirds and rush hour
Cars and welcomed in the day
Peace in London in summertime is great
On days like this I feel like I can escape
And things that I've done and
Mistakes that I've made
I can wash it all away

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun
And waited for our night to end
We knew that one of us would come down
Hard and one of us would start again

We started out curious, it started out fun
We smoked in the woods when we were young
And secretly slipped something
Under our tongues and danced the night away
But everyone stumbles on old cocaine
It burns up the best
And it burdens the brain
‘Til brown comes and whispers away the pain
And you find you've lost your way

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun
And waited for our night to end
We knew that one of us would come down
Hard and one of us would start again

You'd sink in the river for your death
You'd sleep with the fishes
And draw no breath
You'd swallow forever, till nothing's left
Take no rest

Oh, my friend, if you made for the shore
You'd see us here we're all waiting
Just cast your eyes down to the floor
You'll see us here we're waiting

Don't sink in the river for your death
You can sleep in the shade
And draw some breath
You could start fresh tomorrow
And leave what's left please, draw breath
Please, draw breath

Let's let nights become days

So come down, kid, the roof's not safe now
All your friends are waiting for
You to get some rest
