These Days

There were nights and mornings

When you come to me

Found your way into my bones, my joints

Into my veins

Like an animal you coiled your darkness around me

You spelled your name in charcoal

All over my body

But these days

I just walk with you

These days

I let you stay

A little further away

But I walk with you

These days

I'll let you stay

There were summer days and nights

When I was blind to you

You were quiet and you were still

Even when the moon was full

My temporary state of lightness would scare me

After all, I was sure

You were most wrong then, I was daring

But these days

I just walk with you

These days

I let you stay

These days

I just talk with you

These days

I'll let you stay

A little further away

But I walk with you

These days

I let you stay

The things you've shown me over the years

The roads you blocked and how you'll define me

These days

I just walk with you

These days

I let you stay

These days

I just talk with you

These days, these days

These days, these days

These days, these days

These days, these days

These days, these days

These days, these days

These days, these days
