Frank Turner - Nights Become Days lyrics

We soared in the dawn from the roof of the bar When nights become days then you've gone too far We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day Peace in London in summertime is great, On days like this I feel like I can escape and things that I've done and mistakes that I've made. I can wash it all away We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waiting for our night to end We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again We started out curious, it started out fun We smoked in the woods when we were young And secretly slipped something under our tongues And danced the night away But everyone stumbles on old c**aine It burns up the best, and it burdens the brain ‘Til brown comes and whispers away the pain and you find you've lost your way We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waited for our night to end We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again You'd sink in the river for your d**h You'd sleep with the fishes, and draw no breath You'd swallow forever, till nothing's left Take no rest Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting Just cast your eyes down to the floor, you'll see us here, we're waiting Don't sink in the river for your d**h You can sleep in the shade, and draw some breath You could start fresh tomorrow, and leave what's left Please draw breath, please draw breath Let's let nights become days So come down kid the roofs not safe now All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
