These Days

(Verse) Staring at pictures on my ceiling oh no Checking out books that I'm not reading oh no Driving downtown with all my friends Making jokes about my freedom Telling myself i'll be alright (Chorus) I know that I need you, say that I dont Looking for you wherever I go Maybe I'm better being alone These days Starting a fire but praying for rain Hearing the crowds they whisper your name Going to battle fighting in vain Seems to be all I do these days (Verse) I spend my nights in box car trains I hear Scratched up records on replay When you're near I drop the needle let them sing it Hoping maybe I won't feel it Maybe this time I'll be just fine (Chorus) (Bridge) Maybe that sun will set And I will rise and I'll be better Get off this haunted ride and be alright Living without her But I know There's no living without her Oh no (Chorus)
