"These Days" lyrics - ST. VINCENT

ST. VINCENT
"These Days"

I've been out walking.
I don't do too much talking these days.
These days...
These days I simply think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling.
I won't do too much gambling these days.
These days...
These days I simply think about
How all the changes came about my way,
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover.
I don't think I'll risk another these days.
These days...
These days I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song.
It's just that I've been losing so long.

La la la la la

I've stopped my dreaming.
I won't do too much scheming these days.
These days...
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quartertones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures;
I have not forgotten them.
