"The Days"
Released: N/A
"The Days" is a song that was first spoken about in an interview in 2013, but it wasn't performed until 2015. Josef premiered the song at the NDR Soundcheck show in Germany on September 11th, and it was well received. "The Days" will be featured on the debut album and it's basically a happy song about the good old days, although it might pull on some heart strings. Josef himself said it's a feel good song in the same likes of "Open Season". After the premier of the song, it's safe to say it will be added to the setlist of the upcoming "Night Swim" Tour this October/November.
Lyrics
Pulling me up till I learnt to stand
On my own two feet with my own ideas
And my own believes
Hearts are broken, nations fall
Youth's bright burn, time eats it all
But still it starts back up again
It never ends
Look at me now
I'm here before you
I finally found the guts
To start with nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
And everything to prove
But it takes all you've got
All you're made of
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
Every time I try to find the right words
To describe the mess
Make the sentence heard
I'd hit another wall, such a narrow mind
Down we fall
Sure it's a risk to take it this far
But how else do you know
What the limits are
What the dark feels like
I know the crowd holds court
But they're not always right
Look at me now
I'm here before you
I finally found the guts
To start with nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
And everything to prove
But it takes all you've got
All you're made of
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
Lights on, it's clearer now
I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing
But it takes all you've got
All you're made of
And you learn that the soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
