Decent Days And Nights
Music From The O.C. Mix 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you don't know what to do
It's hard to get an answer if you haven't got a clue
If you work it out tell me what you find

If the least you can do is show some restraint
Then the most you can do is get carried away

I can see that you look confused and you don't know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

If you're meant to be here and you want to be late
The best thing you can do is get lost on the way

I can see that you look confused and you don't know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

We can have a few, we can have a few, we can have a few
Decent days and nights
We can have a few, we can have a few, we can have a few
Decent days and nights

If you want to make a guess you should know it's not a game
'Cause you'll never get another chance to make a guess again

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you don't know what to do
It's hard to get an answer if you haven't got a clue
If you want to make a guess you should know it's not a game




'Cause you'll never get another chance to make a guess again
If you work it out tell me what you find
