Nights Become Days Lyrics - Frank Turner

We soared in the dawn from the roof of the bar 

When nights become days then you've gone too far 

We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day 

Peace in London in summertime is great, 

On days like this I feel like I can escape 

and things that I've done and mistakes that I've made. 

I can wash it all away 

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waiting for our night to end 

We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again 

We started out curious, it started out fun 

We smoked in the woods when we were young 

And secretly slipped something under our tongues 

And danced the night away 

But everyone stumbles on old cocaine 

It burns up the best, and it burdens the brain 

'Til brown comes and whispers away the pain and you find you've lost your way 

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waited for our night to end 

We knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again 

You'd sink in the river for your death 

You'd sleep with the fishes, and draw no breath 

You'd swallow forever, till nothing's left 

Take no rest 

Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting 

Just cast your eyes down to the floor, you'll see us here, we're waiting 

Don't sink in the river for your death 

You can sleep in the shade, and draw some breath 

You could start fresh tomorrow, and leave what's left 

Please draw breath, please draw breath 

Let's let nights become days 

So come down kid the roofs not safe now 

All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
