[Verse 1]
Take the gloves off, my friend
In the end, it'll all go down easy
All day just tryin’ to put it down
It's got its arms around you, just can't shake that feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve been emptying your pockets
Making room for bottle rockets
Underwriting all your big dreams
I know you would have given everything
[Chorus]
Days upon days
Looking over my shoulder
Days upon days
Don't let it pull me under
Days upon days
Now, I've got time to ponder
Days upon days
Endless golden summers to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Things just seem so retrograde
Like they'll never change, I think we've hit the ceiling
Sundown won't take it all away
It's just another day and you don't even mean it
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve been filling up your pockets
All your money couldn’t stop it
Betting high on pretty play things
They can't save you in the end, it seems
[Chorus]
Days upon days
Looking over my shoulder
Days upon days
Don’t let it pull me under
Days upon days
Now, I've got time to ponder
Days upon days
Endless golden summers to say goodbye
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been filling up your pockets
All your money couldn't stop it
Betting high on pretty play things
They can’t save you in the end, it seems
[Chorus]
Days upon days
Looking over my shoulder
Days upon days
Don't let it pull me under
Days upon days
Now, I've got time to ponder
Days upon days
Endless golden summers to say goodbye
