These Days - Aaron Taos

Ending on a bad note

Is like hanging 'round with sad folks

The aftertaste is bitter (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

But gives you something to be glad for

Well

In these days

We just need to find something to cope

Don’t reply to junk mail

Or take the time to vote

'Cause every other day

I see a shooting or a movie

Where the world crumbles faster

Than we ever could’ve hoped

Landed in the deep end

While tryna save a best friend

I should’ve got there quicker (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

But I was too busy flexing

Well

In these days

We just need to find something to love

Don’t reply to strangers

Or throw breadcrumbs to the doves

And every other day

I see a shooting or a movie

Where the world crumbles faster

Than we ever would’ve thought

Oh no

And desperation can be the seed of greed

When everything that you want becomes what you need

And all those little mundane moments in between

Grow dark and fall off beat

I repeat (I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat)

Driving through Laredo

On my way to New Mexico

Drifting off in deep thought

When I crashed the car

'Cause in these days

We just need something to wake us up

Don’t breathe too hard

Or think too much or else you’re fucked

And every other day

I see a shooting or a movie

Where the world crumbles faster

Than we ever would’ve thought

These days

These days

These days

These days

We just need something to wake us up
