Lyrics

Days like These

We were on our backs in the fresh-laid snow
On the frozen Hudson Bay
Your arms outstretched like an angels wings
And your fingers on my face
I float above this image now
Like a ghost of longings past
And see the space between that night and here
Is strewn with shattered glass

I followed you out across the water
I never feared that we?d fall through
Now as I strip you from my memory
Its days like these I?d like to hold on to

You rolled toward me and pulled me close
Looked at me with hungry eyes
My heart burned and my breathing slowed
As you pressed your lips to mine
Now this picture blurs as you run from me
Never pausing to look back
I lose your scent and the wind kicks up
And covers up our tracks

I followed you out across the water
I never feared that we?d fall through
Now as I strip you from my memory
Its days like these I?d like to hold on to

Push the pills and needles through my veins
Its all or nothing when you play this game
But when I awake with a clean slate
I want to make the same mistake

I followed you out across the water
Never dreamed I?d lose my mind
Now that I?ve stripped you from my memory
I?m still looking for that eternal sunshine
I?m still hunting down that eternal sun
