These Days
Beggar's Blues Diary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breaking on the limit somehow
Riding now the only way
Rearrange your solid background
Nothing else you need to say

Justify a nervous breakdown
Just pretend is a ok
Re-arrange your solid background
But remember not to change

One of these days – one of these days
I'll find my way – I'll find my way




One of these days – one of these days
I'll shoot the stars away
