The Days Go By Oh So Slow Lyrics
Take a seat, and catch your breath
You’re only working towards your death
For as the days go by
They go by oh so slow
But your blonde hair and gaping eyes
Send tingles down my nervous spine
And now the days go by
They go by oh so slow
But I’m yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there
In the grass at Union Square
I touched your face, pushed back your hair
And said, “The days go by…
They go by oh so slow.”
(Days go oh so slow)
And in a room, upon your bed
We tangled arms and crossed our legs
When you sleep alone
The days go oh so slow
But I’m yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there
I am yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
Oh!
And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
I am out there
You’re only working towards your death
For as the days go by
They go by oh so slow
But your blonde hair and gaping eyes
Send tingles down my nervous spine
And now the days go by
They go by oh so slow
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there
I touched your face, pushed back your hair
And said, “The days go by…
They go by oh so slow.”
(Days go oh so slow)
And in a room, upon your bed
We tangled arms and crossed our legs
When you sleep alone
The days go oh so slow
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
Oh!
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
I am out there

awww i love this song, my favorite one of what i've heard so far. its pretty straighforward meaning..just read the lyrics.
I love this song - it's so catchy and laid back... their whole cd is great. I agree that the meaning is pretty straightforward. Is it just me or does the beginning remind you of The Cure songs?
sighs i do love this song very mucho. smiles
Argh i love this song so much. I really cant believe its not got more comments =0 As soon as the little happy intro comes on, i cant help but smile one of those uncontrolable grins... The chorus is so cute. Infact, all the song is amazingly adorable. Brilliant love song.
I also love the way its so layed back like its basically saying, "Man im so in fucking love with you! But if you dont feel the same its totally okay...its not like i care...." lol
Bless X)
i am so in love with this band i am about to burst! and this song really does it for me.. "..if you feel like your hearts dried up i can relate to that.." yah me too buddy believe me, i love driving around and singing at the top of my lungs to this whole cd.... just like the studded cinctures he sings my life with veracious detail
In the grass at Union Square I touched your face, pushed back your hair And said, “The days go by… They go by oh so slow.”
I wish to marry brandon.

I am yours if you want it I can be yours to spend your life with I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors Petrified of the world
I want a boy that could say that to me
eeeeeee nightmare of you
Someone trying to find a way to get someone else to be with them. 'Take a seat and catch your breath'- finding an excuse to get them to sit down next to them, just so that they're nearby. 'Your blonde hair and gaping eyes'- flattery. '[...] I can relate to that'- you should be with me, because I understand you. 'In the grass [...] When you sleep alone the days go oh so slow'- Is this something he's imagining and wants to happen, or something that did happen once that he wants back? 'If you feel like your heart's dried up'- Has she made an excuse about why she can't be with him, and he's trying to get round it?
I love this song. I have no real connection with what I perceive to be the meaning, but I love it.
