Days We Lost

{clean jangly electric guitar riff,

warm retro room tone,

quiet

ambient

hiss}

July was endless, we had time to spend

Chasing the sun down by the river bend

But August came like a sudden cold snap

Folding up childhood like a paper map

{drums

enter with light driving rhythm} And now my school shoes feel too

tight

Staying up late under bedroom light

Thinking about who I'm supposed to be

{guitars swell, building urgency} It happened in three short weeks,

they say

All of my magic just faded away

Now I'm standing in a brand new skin

Where do the days of the wild things end?

(where did they go?)

{explosive wall of jangly overdrive guitars} Packed up the old toys in

a cardboard box

Changing my wardrobe, changing my locks

Nobody warned me it would hurt this fast

No slow transition, just a sudden blast

{rhythm drops to a

sparse pocket beat}

We grew up in a heartbeat

Walking down the same old street

But everything looks smaller now

Yeah, everything looks smaller now (ahhh)

{guitars

start to feed back gently} It happened in three short weeks,

they say

All of my magic just faded away

Now I'm standing in a brand new skin

Where do the days of the wild things end?

(where did they go?) {full band back at peak energy,

soaring guitar lead}

Three short weeks... And the summer is gone.

(hummmm) {guitars ring out,

drums fade down to solo clean guitar riff}
