Some days I couldn't get up couldn't get down

I'm bored of everything

Somehow a little black cloud would rain over me

Someone was making me mad good turned bad

And I'd lose everything to get you back

Just to get you back but...



These days the world's alright

The sun shines bright

I'm kicking out the dreams

These days I don't think twice

I walk on ice

I'm positively somewhere



(chorus)

These days go on

Long after you've gone

These days go on

Long after you've gone

These days go on and on...



I'm out of the fire and into the swimming pool

Sometimes I'd drown my tears

But the same old fears come back

Someone's been making me ill

I bet you're still a 2,3,4 letter word

Yes, you heard the pretty little birds fly home, cause...



These days

The sun kicks in

The good guys win

I'm illegal in the back seat

These days I'm safe and sound

Not dragged down

You wanna know the reason?



repeat chorus



Thank you for not being here

I feel better when you're not sleeping in my head

Tossing and turning an' messing up the sheets

The love we made was incomplete

Like the shoes on your feet

Same stuff I've heard before

That philosophy starting to bore me now

Now you won't have to smile and ignore me



These days the karma's right

The sun shines bright

I'm kicking out the bad dreams

These days I don't think twice

I walk on light

I'm positively somewhere
