These Days
There were nights and mornings
When you come to me
Found your way into my bones, my joints
Into my veins
Like an animal you coiled your darkness around me
You spelled your name in charcoal
All over my body
But these days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay
A little further away
But I walk with you
These days
I'll let you stay
There were summer days and nights
When I was blind to you
You were quiet and you were still
Even when the moon was full
My temporary state of lightness would scare me
After all, I was sure
You were most wrong then, I was daring
But these days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay
These days
I just talk with you
These days
I let you stay
A little further away
But I walk with you
These days
I let you stay
The things you've shown me over the years
The roads you blocked and how you'll define me
These days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay
These days
I just talk with you
These days, these days
