These Days

Remember the days when we were young
So unchanged and unafraid
We'd up and run
Remember the time we almost let this go
When all our fears about the world
Had taken hold
And the life we knew seems so far away
But I'm holding on to it anyway
And I close my eyes
And think how I used to say
When these days are long behind
Will I still stand my ground and fight
Or will I stop to wonder why
All the dreams went cold
The love ran dry
When nothing's known for certain
Does the future serve to leave me broken
I won't wait for answers
Before I see the light
Remember wishing all the years away
Thinking how much better off
We'd be someday
Remember how time rolls on
And it won't slow for anyone
So let it go and carry on
But before the world wasn't all it seemed
We'd trade our nights for hopes and dreams
And my doubts will beat me down
But I still believe
And the life we knew seems so far away
But I'm holding on to it anyway
And I close my eyes
And think how I used to say
When these days are long behind
Will I still stand my ground and fight
Will I start to turn the tide
All the truth I know
I'll find inside
Who knows what tomorrow's holding
Cause if we're breathing in this moment
Well, I don't mind what's waiting
On the other side
On the other side
No, I don't mind what's waiting
On the other side
