The Days )
Avicii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the tree where the grass don't grow
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
And 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
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)

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

(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
