18 days Lyrics
It’s been 18 days
Since I had to look at myself
I don’t wanna have to change
If I don’t then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don’t wanna have to be here
I don’t understand it now
Cuz’ it’s been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
But some say it’s the hardest thing to do
That’s another 18 days
Without you
Time after time
I’ve been through this
You’ve showed me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
If my days fade to night
I’ll remember that state of mind
I’m soarin’ straight into your heart
Now fly high
Cuz’ it’s been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
But some say it’s the hardest thing to do
That’s another 18 days
Without you
And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I’ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this
Cuz’ it’s been 18 days
Since I had to look at myself
I don’t wanna have to change
If I don’t then no one will
Cuz’ it’s been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels jus like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
Some say it’s the hardest thing to do
But that’s just too many days
Without you
And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I’ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this
Since I had to look at myself
I don’t wanna have to change
If I don’t then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don’t wanna have to be here
I don’t understand it now
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
But some say it’s the hardest thing to do
That’s another 18 days
Without you
I’ve been through this
You’ve showed me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
If my days fade to night
I’ll remember that state of mind
I’m soarin’ straight into your heart
Now fly high
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
But some say it’s the hardest thing to do

But I’ll fight this time

Have a chance at this
Since I had to look at myself

Without you
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I’ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this

This song sounds a lot like its about having a kid....having to change and rearrange your life because of the new addition to your life.
It means alot to me because it has alot to do with me and my ex :'(
They sound kind of country in this song... It's weird. I'm not sure if I like these guys or not yet... But yeah the meaning is pretty obvious.
its just dealing with having to be away from someone for a really long time. i saw these guys in concert and they kick ass. they dedicated this song to the troops across seas.
i remember that concert. i was there. :)
I love this band. My husband has this song on his myspace...he is in the Army so this song suits him. Although its been a lot longer than 18 days...more like 13 months.
This song is means a lot to me. I heard it the first time on my fiance's 18th day in prison. He went in on a parole violation because at one of his regularly schedualed meetings with his parole officer he tested dirty for alcohol. He's been battling with alcoholism for a while now, and I told him that if he didn't change I couldn't do it anymore. So the verse "Cuz’ it’s been 18 days Since I had to look at myself I don’t wanna have to change If I don’t then no one will Cuz’ it’s been too many days Since I first held you But to me it feels jus like It feels like a lifetime I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange Some say it’s the hardest thing to do But that’s just too many days Without you" is really fitting for him. He says I'm the only person in the world he can change for, and this song gives me hope. :)
Hang in there. From the time I was 18 until I turned 21, I had a serious problem with substance abuse. My fiance gave me support and finally told me if it happened again, she would leave me. Knowing she was serious, I cleaned up COLD TURKEY.

We will be married 33 years this September 11th. I love her more each day. Why shouldn't I--she probably saved my life.

soo...this song makes me cry thinking about it...i haven't seen my bf in about a year now...i hate the army right about now...i can't say it was at 18 days that i completely felt the effects...but definitely after 18 weeks you start to feel it for sure... this song is self explanatory, guys misses his girl after 18 days of not being able to hold her...w/e long distance relationship that is...like cw543 says with dedicating it to troops across seas, they really hit it on the nail with this one...
I read somewhere that the singer Jared Weeks said the song was about a sheriff that was shot several times while on a call. He had severe injuries to his face and was kept in the hospital. He was released 18 days later he was finally able to look at himself in the mirror. The lyrics describe his thoughts and feelings at the time.
im an eod tech for the navy and i can really relate to this song i havent been home with my fiance in about 10 months and it does feel like a lifetime scince i last held her great song
@Shadowhawkice I know this is old but I happened to be looking up this song today & came across this. I just want to say thank you for your service. I watched a show on Netflix called “The Toughest Forces on Earth” the other day & one of the groups the guy trained with was the US Navy’s EOD specialists.. absolutely insane.
