[Verse 1]
Never was a child of the salty earth
Never that far from grace
Spent most my time working out
How I fit in time and space
And you had your own, I'm sure you did
And maybe's not fair to say
But there's so much more you could have learned
From a wide-eyed kid like me
[Chorus]
Gimme the days
Gimme the days I knew I'd touch the veil
Still just a boy, green as a twig
Swaying in the wind forever
Gimme the days
Gimme the days I knew I'd touch the veil
Still just a boy, green as a twig
Swaying in the wind
Gimme the days
[Verse 2]
And I tried to wrestle every wonder
In this endless chase

But I knew I needed something left
Of my fragile mental state
Now somewhere there's a light on
There's a spirit with a harness on
A depth and unrelenting calm
A child running head-long
There's a line in the sand that I can't see
That tried to lay my dreams to waste
But I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got my head on straight
[Chorus]
Gimme the days
Gimme the days I knew I'd touch the veil
Still just a boy, green as a twig
Swaying in the wind forever
Gimme the days
Gimme the days I knew I'd touch the veil
Still just a boy, green as a twig
Swaying in the wind
Gimme the days
