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
