Days We'd Take Over

from The Compass & The Vessel by Stay Golden

lyrics

Please, won't you take me down to
the moment when I fell
you never caught me,
I guess it's all the same
and when you leave,
won't you please just take it slow?

Take me back to those long days when
we'd lay in bed forever
hope the days would never end
and we'd wash our cares and our broken dreams
right down the drain.

Just wear that little black dress you have
I swear I won't be a gentleman
Oh, I'll just take every word
every single thought for granted

You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend (3x)
you were my best friend 'til the end.

All the whiskey bottles,
they fill my bedroom up
and I can't swallow another sip of it
I'm just so hollow
I thought I told you about the days we knew
we were taking over

But you move faster
that's why I never asked her out
so I stayed cast in the shadows
where you left me begging
left me hanging on a wire

I swear I'll never get used to you
or all the drama that you put me through
oh, I'll just stand back
and watch insanity cover you.

You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend
you were my best friend until the end
you were my best friend
you were my best friend until the end.

Well I bleed forever
only the second time it's taken this long to
dry itself up and I can't ask for anyone
or anything in the end.
Take me back to those long days
when we'd lay in bed forever
hope the days would never ever end
and we'd wash our cares right down the drain
down the drain

You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend.
