Days Go By

Take your pick, raise the bet
Run for miles, break a sweat
Crash a car, pay your rent
Laze around, never quit
Say a prayer, smoke a zoot
Help yourself, write a tune
Fade away, tell the truth
Lie a lot, finish soon

I can't be waiting on a moment, a moment
I stare into the sky and wonder where my life's gone
Sometimes I wish that I was frozen, you noticed?
But I must be overthinking, naturally I

I let the days go by
I let the days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine

Call your friends, catch a plane
Play your cards, don't complain
Swear a lot, never curse
Drink too much, sober up
Fall about, stand up straight
Make amends, make mistakes
Buy a house, burn it down
Make your bed, sleep around

I can't be waiting on a moment, a moment
I stare into the sky and wonder where my life's gone
Sometimes I wish that I was frozen, you noticed?
But I must be overthinking, naturally I

I let the days go by
I let the days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by

I let the days go by
I let the days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine

Take your pick, raise the bet
Run for miles, break a sweat
Crash a car, pay your rent
Laze around, never quit
Say a prayer, smoke a zoot
Help yourself, write a tune
Fade away, tell the truth
Lie a lot, finish soon

I let the days go by
I let the days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine
