Days Like This Lyrics

Days like this
You look up at the sky above you
Days like this
You think about the ones that love you

All I wanna do is live my life honestly;
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones who went before you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky such a clear blue

All I wanna do is live my life honestly
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones who love you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky such a clear blue

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.

Such a calm, beautiful song.

It's good for lazy Sundays and for reflecting upon your life.

I also think it would make a beautiful wedding-themed song. She just wants to wake up to see her loved one next to her. On her wedding day, she is beginning a new life. She wants to take in the day, where loved ones show to see them off on this new beginning. She reflects on those who couldn't be there (family, friends) who have passed on before the day. She wants to let go of past regrets and live honestly from this point on. After all, getting rid of baggage would be healthy and reflects on the sky "such a clear blue" - which is metaphoric for a clean slate and clarity. Would make a great wedding video song!
