these days
Bailey Jehl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope life is beautiful
You were the light for me to find my truth
I just wanna say, thank you
Leaving to find my soul
Told her I had to go
And I know it ain't pretty
When our hearts get broke
Watching us both turn cold
Oh, I know it ain't pretty
When two hearts get broke
Yeah, I know it ain't pretty
When two hearts get broke
I hope someday
We'll sit down together
And laugh with each other
About these days, these days
All our troubles
We'll lay to rest
And we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
Three years of ups and downs
Nothing to show for it now
And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out
Calling me when I'm drunk, remind me of what I've done
And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeah
I hope someday
We'll sit down together
And laugh with each other
About these days, these days
All our troubles
We'll lay to rest
And we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days
These lyrics tell a story of a past relationship that has ended and the singer's reflections on it. The first few lines acknowledge that their former partner has moved on to someone new, and while this may be difficult, the singer wishes their ex happiness, saying that they were the light that helped them find their own truth. The next lines indicate that the singer left the relationship to find themselves and their own path, and while it may not have been easy, they know that heartbreak is a part of life. They also note that they feel too young to experience the pain of a broken heart, and observe that both parties have become colder as a result.
The chorus offers hope for the future, expressing the singer's desire to someday meet up with their ex and fondly reminisce about the past, ultimately letting go of the pain and leaving it behind. The final verse talks about the difficulties of moving on, with the singer acknowledging that they have made mistakes in trying to do so. However, the sentiment of the chorus remains consistent - despite the difficulties, the singer wishes to look back on the past with fondness and leave the pain behind.
Overall, these lyrics are a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship, acknowledging the pain of heartbreak while looking forward to a future where the pain can be left behind in favor of happy memories.

Three years of ups and downs
Nothing to show for it now
After experiencing many highs and lows for three years, I have nothing to prove it now
And I know it ain't pretty when the fire burns out
It is an unpleasant sight when the love or passion fades away
Calling me when I'm drunk, remind me of what I've done
When I am intoxicated, you call to remind me of my past actions
And I know it ain't pretty when you're trying to move on, yeah
It is not an easy process when you try to move on
