These Days Lyrics

These days

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I've had the chance to

I quit my gambling
I don't do too much rambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long

I'd stop my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time the quarter turns to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
Cause I had never forgot them.

Two expletives short of fashion a statement

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Its "how these changes came about my way" not "how all the changes came about my way," "So I don't think I'll risk another" not I don't think I'd risk another," "and I don't do too much scheming these days" not "I won't do too much scheming these days," and this last one has always baffled me but I do believe its "These days I sit on corner stones and count my in QUARTER TONES today." The "quarter tones" but it is definitely "count my time in ____ today" not "count the time the quarter turns to ten"
