These Days

it's cold when you're standing here
out on a ledge
waiting for a hand
look at how much weight
we put on a kiss
and what we'll do just to stand near it
are we trying too hard
or just not enuff
are we resting our fate
on the traps of love
are we giving ourselves
to places we hate
just to see if there's something else
written on the backs of these days
yeah
look at how long
it's taken us to get here
it's taken us nowhere
yet it's taken us here
with our backs up against the wall
that could never be built
if we weren't here at all, yeah
chorus
on the backs of these days
something must be there
on the backs of these days
oh i just got to believe
something is out there and
someone will save me
