lyrics

I’ve got a steady 40 hours a week
Got my hound asleep at my feet
I’ve got a lot of things going for me
But I can’t see the forest for the trees

Scraping by with not enough to save
Got a ride although she misbehaves
I’m very lucky in countless little ways
But the bigger picture won’t focus from the haze

I know we’ll look back and say that
These were the days
I’ve tried walking backwards
But I’m looking the wrong way
I know we’ll look back and say that
These were the days

Don’t tell me ‘live in the moment’
Don’t keep me wishing and hoping
I just end up standing frozen
Can’t get one single thing done

I’ve got you and we can stand alone
Got ready earth where we can build our home
You make me happy yet I can’t help but moan
We must get going, but where’re we gonna go?

I know we’ll look back and say that
These were the days
I’ve tried walking backwards
But I’m looking the wrong way
I know we’ll look back and say that
These were the days
