These Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days, these days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do, for you
And all the times I had a chance to

[Verse 2]
Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
Live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long

[Chorus]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones 'til ten, my friend
And now I believe I want to see myself again

[Steel guitar solo - Scott Boyer]

[Outro]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of them

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
