The Days
Avicii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We made a promise to never get old
You had a chance and you took it on me
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep
Heartache, heart break all over town
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
And I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together
These are the days we've been waiting for
On days like these, who could ask for more
Keep 'em coming 'cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget
These are the days we've been waiting for
Rattle the cage and slam that door
And the world is calling us but not just yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget
Out on the midnight the wild ones howl
The last of the lost boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of
Time flew, cut through all over town
You made me bleed when I look up and you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together
(Oh-oh-oh)
These are the days we've been waiting for
On days like these, who could ask for more
Keep 'em coming 'cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget
These are the days we've been waiting for
Neither of us knows what's in store
You just roll your window down and place your bets
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we'll never forget
And these are the days (these are the days)
And these are the days (these are the days)
The lyrics to "The Days" by Avicii describe a promise made between two people under a tree where the grass doesn't grow. They pledged to never get old, but one of them didn't keep their promise, causing heartache and heartbreak all over town. However, when the other person came around, something flipped like a switch, and the broken pieces were put back together.
The chorus celebrates the present moment as the days they've been waiting for. They won't regret these days because they are living them to the fullest. The wild ones howl at midnight, and the last of the lost boys have given up, but the two people still hold on to the belief that they were once stars aligned. Time has flown, and they don't know what's in store for them. However, they're betting on their future and won't forget these days.
The song has a hopeful and empowering message about seizing the day and cherishing the present moment. It speaks to the idea that tomorrow is not promised, so we must make the most out of today. The verses describe a past filled with pain and heartbreak, while the chorus celebrates the present and future.

Under the tree where the grass don't grow
We found a secluded spot where the grass won't disturb us
We made a promise to never get old
We vowed to embrace youthfulness and enjoy life's adventures
You had a chance and you took it on me
You placed your trust in me and put your faith in our relationship
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep
Sadly, I promised something I couldn't fulfill
Heartache, heart break all over town
Sorrow and pain seems to be everywhere we turn
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
My mood changed in an instant when you showed up
And I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm broken inside, please help me feel whole again
These are the days we've been waiting for
These moments are the ones we've been longing for
On days like these, who could ask for more
These times are so fulfilling, what more could we want?
Keep 'em coming 'cause we're not done yet
Let's keep the good times going, we're not finished yet
These are the days we won't regret
We won't feel bad about anything that happens during these moments
These are the days we won't forget
These memories will be etched in our minds forever
Rattle the cage and slam that door
Let's break out of our routine and take risks
And the world is calling us but not just yet
We need to enjoy ourselves before tackling what the world has in store for us
Out on the midnight the wild ones howl
Late at night, the adventurous and daring roam free
The last of the lost boys have thrown in the towel
The rebels have given up and conformed to society's standards
We used to believe we were stars aligned
We once thought we were destined to be together
You made a wish and I fell out of
Your wish made me lose my footing
Time flew, cut through all over town
Time seemed to fly by so fast, affecting everyone
You made me bleed when I look up and you're not around
I feel hurt when I realize you're not with me
Neither of us knows what's in store
We have no idea what the future holds
You just roll your window down and place your bets
Take a risk as you open your heart to the future
And these are the days (these are the days)
Let's cherish these moments (repeated)

The days
(Intro music)
Under the tree
Where the grass
Don’t grow
(Music)
We made a promise
To never get old
(Music)
You had a chance
And you took it on me
(Music)
And I made a promise
That I couldn’t keep.
(Music)
Heartache, heartbreak
All over town
But something flipped
Like a switch
When you came around
And I’m in pieces
Pick me up
And put me together,
Ooooohh
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
On days like these
Who could ask for more
Keep them coming, cause we’re not done yet
These are the days
That we won’t regret
These are the days
We won’t forget
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
Rattle the cage
And slam that door
And the world
Is calling us
But not just yet
These are the days
That we won’t regret
These are the days
we won’t forget
(Music)
Out on the midnight
The wild ones howl
(Music)
Last of the lost boys
Have thrown in there towel
(Music)
We used to believe
We were stats aligned
(Music)
You mad a wish And I fell out of
Time flew
Cut through
All over town
You made me bleed
When I look up and
You’re not around
But I’m in pieces
Pick me up
And put me together
Ooooohh
These are the days
We’ve been waiting for
Neither of us
Knows what’s in store
You just roll
Your window down and
Place your bets
These are the days
We won’t forget
These are the days
Will never forget and
These are the daysss
And these are the daysss
