Frank Turner - Nights Become Days Lyrics

We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar
When the nights become days when you've gone too far
We listen to songbirds and rush hour cars
And welcomed in the day

You said, "London in summertime is great
On days like this I feel like I can escape
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made
I could wash it all away"

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun
And waited for our night to end
We knew then 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 out 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
Then 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 a river for your death
And sleep with the fishes and draw no breath
Could swallow forever 'til 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 could sleep in the shade and draw some breath
You could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left
Please draw breath, please draw breath

Let's the nights become days

So come down, kid
The roof's not safe now
All your friends are waiting for you
To get some rest
