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
Heart ache, heart break
All over town
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
These are the days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't 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 rhythm is calling us as we're 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 last boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of time
Time flew, cut through
All over town
You make me bleed when I look up
And you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up, and put me together
These are the days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't 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 of Avicii's song The Days featuring Robbie Williams tell the story of two people who have made a promise to each other to live life to the fullest and not get old. They have had their share of heartache and heartbreak, but when they come together something changes in them. The singer is broken, but the other person picks them up and puts them back together.
The chorus talks about the importance of these days in their lives, the days they have been waiting for, days that they will never forget or regret. The last verse talks about their uncertainty of what is to come but encourages them to continue rolling their windows down and taking chances because these are the days they won't regret.
Overall, the song is about living life to the fullest, taking risks, and enjoying the moments that come our way. The lyrics also suggest that life can bring heartache and disappointment, but with the right people by our side, we can pick ourselves up and enjoy the good times.

We have no idea what the future holds.
You just roll your window down and place your bets
We're taking a risk and going for it, even though we don't know what the outcome will be.
And these are the days (these are the days)
These are the moments that make life worth living.
And these are the days (these are the days)
These are the moments that we will always remember fondly.

The days
(Intro music)
Under the tree
Where the grass
Don’t grow

We made a promise
To never get old

And you took it on me

And I made a promise
That I couldn’t keep.
