Motel sitting in the dark
Empty room like an empty heart
Lovers stop but they never stay
They don't look back as they drive away
Maybe I
Fix this broken neon light
Fill in the cracks and paint it bright
And maybe love will stop here tonight
And if she knocks on my door
I'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than I ever thought I could be but
These are the days
When all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way
But for now I'm gonna have to face it
These are the days
Gotta use this lonely time
To change the picture in my frame of mind
Outside the window there's a sunny day
I wanna feel it on my face
You and I
Are out looking for the same thing
And these walls of wondering
Waiting for someone to share this feeling
And if she knocks on my door
I'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than I ever thought I could be but
These are the days
When all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way
But for now I'm gonna have to face it
These are the days
These are the days between your hopes and fears
These are the moments that are still locked here
There still inside even if she will not hear
Like it or not this is what I got
Oh God
These are the days
When all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between and
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way (yeah)
But for now I'm gonna have to face it cause
These are the days
These are the days
When all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way
But for now I'm gonna have to face it
These are the days
