THE BLACK KEYS LYRICS - These Days

"These Days"



My hand to God

I didn't mean to

After all

Look what we've been through

Men come in different shades

That's how we're made



The little house on Ellis Drive

Is where I felt most alive

The oak tree covered that old Ford

I miss it Lord, I miss it Lord



These blood red eyes

Don't see so good

But what's worse is if they could

Would I change my ways?

Wasted times and broken dreams

Violent colors so obscene

It's all I see these days

These days



Watch what you say

The devil is listenin'

He's got ears that you

Wouldn't believe

And brother once you go to him

It's your soul you can never retrieve



These blood red eyes

Don't see so good

But what's worse is if they could

Would I change my ways?

Wasted times and broken dreams

Violent colors so obscene

It's all I see these days

These days
