Days Gone By

I got a memory of you
Its haunting me
It just sits in my head
Like an old man drinking his coffee
He's not leaving sometime soon
He's not hurting me or you
He just watches the moonlight faded away

I've chased my life with you and wasted time
I've held you head above the floor much farther than mine
I guess I dropped you way too soon
Now my face is turning blue
And I watch my heartbeat climb away

Old times so goddamn gone
No one left playing with my hair
No one to sing along
Old trees burned all night long
The smell of maple filled the summer wind
And left me so far gone

I got the time ticking on my wrist
Its laughing at me
It clicks its song throughout my sleep
Its damning me
Won't be stopping sometime soon
Not for May and not for June
It just forces the daylight away

Old times so goddamn gone
No one left playing with my hair
No one to sing along
Old trees burned all night long
I guess I thought there'd be more time
For us to softly shine
