These Days Lyrics - Imani Coppola

I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin' 

and ended up in a park where I stayed until it turned dark 

My eyes looked to the sky where I focused on the space between the stars 

Cause it's what makes them beautiful, and I'm feelin' empty 

Empty as the gas tank of the car on the side of the road 

and just a little hopeless like the people tryin' to wave down some help 

Why's a friend so hard to come by these days? 

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing 

You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go 

And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics 

Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix 

The melting pot is boiling over these days 

I took a walk yesterday not knowing where I was goin' 

not knowin' why I was movin', not knowin' what I was doin' 

but tryin' to walk with some purpose, put a little meaning in my stride, 

Put a little meaning in my life, why ask why 

I look for answers in the sky and if the tree's could only talk to me 

I'd know a lot more than I did before, than I did before 

Than I did before these days 

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing 

You got a whole lot of people, tellin' you which way to go and you go 

And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics 

Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix 

The melting pot is boiling over these days 

These days, these days, these days, these days, these days, these days 

I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin' 

It reminded me of how free I am 

But what a slave I am to my own discontent 

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing 

You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go 

And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics 

Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix 

The melting pot is boiling over these days
