these days
Alex Bleeker Lyrics

The lyrics to Alex Bleeker's song "These Days" speak to the feeling of being lost in a relationship, unsure of what is right and struggling to communicate. The opening lines "I'm a runnin' away, I just won't back down 'cause there's nothin' else to say" convey a sense of frustration and a desire to escape the situation. The singer wishes they could have things the way they want, but finds that words don't come easily.

The second verse continues this theme of feeling lost and unsure. The singer says "no more games left to play", conveying a sense of exhaustion with the relationship. They woke up early and just wanted to stay, perhaps suggesting a desire to hide away from the world and the problems in their relationship. The line "lost sight of what was right" suggests that the singer is struggling to find their way and make sense of things. The final line of the verse, "sleep down the street from you tonight", hints at a desire to be close to the other person but an inability to bridge the gap between them.

The chorus speaks to the singer's determination to move on and find something better. They say that they have "better things to do than waste [their] time running after you", suggesting that they are ready to move on and leave the relationship behind. However, they acknowledge that "love remains cause love is true", suggesting that they still feel a sense of attachment and love towards the other person, even if the relationship is not working out.
