These Days All Look the Same

[verse]

Remember when the summer smiled,

and seemed to wait for you to wake?

The breeze blew light when I was young,

with the world laid out for us to take.

But time won't wait, the years rushed past,

and seemed to weigh like iron chain,

We're lying in a sunburnt field,

waiting for the summer rains.

[pre-chorus]

These days merge into a mist,

Patterns bind and then persist.

[chorus]

I'm running now on automatic,

Life has become quite mathematic.

I've forgotten why I came,

These days all look the same.

[verse]

The sun comes up, my mind shuts down,

the wheel goes 'round, that same sun sets.

Dark edges in, the night falls slow,

Around the glow of my cigarette.

The city finds its second wind,

The streets pulse with our torn voices,

We try to drown the voice within,

that doubts the wisdom of our choices.

[pre-chorus]

Now the nights have fused as one,

a dull parade from moon to sun.

[chorus]

I'm running now on automatic,

Life has become quite mathematic.

I've forgotten why I came,

These days all look the same.

[bridge]

I drive down Sunset Boulevard,

I'll drive until I reach the sea,

Maybe there, if I can drop my guard,

I'll find some way through to me.

[instrumental]

[pre-chorus]

Each day's gone beyond recall,

I need to break through this wall.

[chorus]

I'm running now on automatic,

Life has become quite mathematic.

I've forgotten why I came,

These days all look the same.
