“These Days”
By Take That
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Cry away the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in
Days I’ve wasted
Been around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken
Hard and colder
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope
For the best
Don’t want you resting my bones
And you’re calling me now
I will see you all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching you
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the light is gone
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before the day gets old
Chorus
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
What a day to believe
To believe in the night
Want a date to belong
To a face in the crowd
And the beat of your heart
And I’m already in
And you’re working it out
And you’re holding us all
In your hands
So what you waiting for
Take me back
Before we lose control
Before the tables turn
Before we break it all
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us all
(Chorus)
