These Days
Saturday
the morning came and ran away
and the leaves have something to say to you
that I thought you need to know
Did you hear
the wind blowing words through your ears
and if you have the time to relive all these years
take a drive out to the sea
Well I'm caught up in the tide again
and I'm falling down from grace
but I'll keep you close
somewhere in the back of my mind
taking love for granted but wanting forgiveness
these days I'm trying to be
better than I was
December came
and your tail lights burned out through the grey
driving home to learn what doesn't stay the same
when your thoughts hold your heart for ransom
Broken smile
and the hardest part to reconcile
is what it takes to be free and wild
well call my name when you find an answer
Time means more when it's kept from rewinding
and we both learned our fate some time ago
will the world tear us apart
or will be open up our eyes
and hope for next time
cause these days I'm trying to be
better than I was
Well I'm caught up in the tide again
and I'm falling down from grace
but I'll keep you close
somewhere in the back of my mind
taking love for granted but wanting forgiveness
these days I'm trying to be
better than I was
