Lyrics

These Days By Kelly Pettit

She was so beautiful, like a musical
Tripped me up just like a pharmaceutical
Something in her eyes, had me chastised
Spun me round and I went anti-clockwise
Lost under her thumb; she's so hard to overcome

Punching into work just like an office clerk
Long for weekends in a T-shirt
Paying the taxman is my only game plan
Make ends meet the best that I can
Heading for the hall of shame, how'd I love to freeze-frame

These days, nothing ever seems to come easy
These days, I just gotta face it, I aint got it going on
Someday, I'm gonna get this all behind me
Get past 'em or outlast 'em: these days

The days keep moving by, and she's still on my mind
She said she yearned for more than my simple life
So many "wish I'd dones", but there's no refunds
Better change or settle on reruns
How I'd love to step back and have another solid crack

These days, nothing ever seems to come easy
These days, I just gotta face it, I aint got it going on
Someday, I'm gonna get this all behind me
Get past 'em or outlast 'em: these days

Life's kind of like a trap door that sends you to the sea floor

These days, nothing ever seems to come easy
These days, I just gotta face it, I aint got it going on
Someday, I'm gonna get this all behind me
Get past 'em or outlast 'em: these days
Get past 'em or outlast 'em: these days
