Nights Become Days

We soared in the dawn from the roof of the bar

When nights become days then you've gone too far

We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day

Peace in London in summertime is great,

On days like this I feel like I can escape

and things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.

I can wash it all away

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waiting for our night to end

We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

We started out curious, it started out fun

We smoked in the woods when we were young

And secretly slipped something under our tongues

And danced the night away

But everyone stumbles on old cocaine

It burns up the best, and it burdens the brain

‘Til brown comes and whispers away the pain and you find you've lost your way

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waited for our night to end

We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

You'd sink in the river for your death

You'd sleep with the fishes, and draw no breath

You'd swallow forever, till nothing's left

Take no rest

Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting

Just cast your eyes down to the floor, you'll see us here, we're waiting

Don't sink in the river for your death

You can sleep in the shade, and draw some breath

You could start fresh tomorrow, and leave what's left

Please draw breath, please draw breath

Let's let nights become days

So come down kid the roofs not safe now

All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
