Horrorshow - Days Past lyrics

Thank you for days past
And for every day yet to come
Thank you for this day
Thank you for days past
And for every day yet to come
Thank you for this day
Thank you for days past
And for every day yet to come
Thank you for this day
Thank you for days past
And for every day yet to come

They wandered over drugs and alcohol
With the memory of what it's like
To really have a soul
Opposite sides of the track, same suburb
Strangers turned friends
Then saviours turned lovers
And he scared her a little bit
Never did quite understand too clear
Her fear of the intimate
But she scared him a little more
Been searching for so long
Afraid he might have found what
He was looking for she wasn't sure at first
Cause she's learnt that when you play with
Fire that you might get burnt
But somewhere between the cigarettes
And late night TV
She found a reason to believe
In what might be
It's like hazel-eyed thinkers seek
Shelter from the storm
Clever brunette likes to read and stay
Awake until the break of dawn
Just a mother's son and a father's daughter
Tryna build some paradise within
A life of disorder and it got deep
He was living for that couple of minutes
After they kissed and he could still
Taste her lips on his
But this is all just a little bit much for me
How'd some drunken fun turn
Into a love story?

Ain't it funny how time flies? A few
Months can feel like a lifetime
So caught up in the game
He don't even realise
That he's watching from the sideline
Complacency's taking it's toll
Now each day that fades
Watch the flame turn cold they never fight
Too afraid of what might get said
Instead, silence
Screaming for help under a breath
Sharing a cold bed and
Some silent phone calls
It's scary how quickly the rise
Can turn to fall until the day arrived
("I don't really know how to say this
But") took it with a smile
But on the inside his world turned black
Moments running through his mind
And if he could, then he'd take it all back
Now he can't sleep, but stays awake
Dreams of better days
When he wrote her love letters and
The weather didn't seem so grey
Business as usual, her coping mechanism
Finds comfort in the fact that
Others still find her beautiful
And as the seconds turn minutes, turn days
Turns weeks lovers revert to strangers
They don't even speak the king of the blues
The queen of the street
Now the kingdom lies in ruins
Break-up songs on repeat

Now he misses her touch and
The sound of her voice
Every day he wakes up wishing
She'd made a different choice
Another failed attempt at
Capturing the beauty
Till he finds himself home
Alone listening to "shhh"
