The Days - Josef Salvat

I have lived with another’s arms

Pulling me up till I learnt to stand

On my own two feet with my own ideas

And my own believes

Hearts are broken, nations fall

Youth’s bright burn, time eats it all

But still it starts back up again

It never ends

Look at me now

I’m here before you

I finally found the guts

To start with nothing to lose

Nothing to hide

And everything to prove

But it takes all you’ve got

All you’re made of

And you learn that a soul has got to change

So you throw all your cards out the window

And carry on, making it up on the way

From the wound, you forget by tomorrow

To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame

Till you learn how to love and to be loved

These are the days and you’re living them your way

Every time I try to find the right words

To describe the mess

Make the sentence heard

I’d hit another wall, such a narrow mind

Down we fall

Sure it’s a risk to take it this far

But how else do you know

What the limits are

What the dark feels like

I know the crowd holds court

But they’re not always right

Look at me now

I’m here before you

I finally found the guts

To start with nothing to lose

Nothing to hide

And everything to prove

But it takes all you’ve got

All you’re made of

And you learn that a soul has got to change

So you throw all your cards out the window

And carry on, making it up on the way

From the wound, you forget by tomorrow

To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame

Till you learn how to love and to be loved

These are the days and you’re living them your way

Lights on, it’s clearer now

I wouldn’t change a thing

I wouldn’t change a thing

But it takes all you’ve got

All you’re made of

And you learn that the soul has got to change

So you throw all your cards out the window

And carry on, making it up on the way

From the wound, you forget by tomorrow

To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame

Till you learn how to love and to be loved

These are the days and you’re living them your way
