Frank Turner - Nights Become Days + Lyrics

Nights Become Days from England Keep My Bones by Frank Turner

Lyrics:
We saw 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.
He said "London in summertime is great,
On days like this I feel like I can escape from the tings 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 waited for our night to end.
We knew 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 tongues and danced the night away.
But everyone stumbles on old cocaine;
It burns out the best but it burdens the brain,
until brown comes and whispers away the pain,
and you find you've lost your way.

You'd sink in the rivers for your death.
You'd sleep with the fishes, 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 could sleep in the shade, draw some breath.
You could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left.
Please draw breath, Let's let nights become days.

So come down, kid, the roof's safe now.
All your friends are waiting for you to.

This song either makes me incredibly happy or cry every time. Call me emotionally unstable, but this song is immense. Especially when the strings kick in. Incredibly mesmerizing song Frank.

London in summer time is great <3

There is one person in the world who is dedicated to unliking every post on youtube. We have been passed over and blessed by this person.

*the roof's not safe now.

@hislittlelife so yeah, experimenting with drugs is perfectly good for your health.

I kind of understand but still...

[hislittlelife]

@nootsadog1 I am the UK youth and I would rather experiment in my life than read my books and be wrapped in cotton wool. And not that it should matter to my argument, I shall add, I was head prefect at the best school in my area. Not just some 'chav' or such.

[nootsadog1]

@hislittlelife well, I am sorry that you have such negative outlook on all of the UK youth

[hislittlelife]

@nootsadog1 not in the traditional sense, but i'd like to think so yes.

[nootsadog1]

@hislittlelife but is that really a ritual?

[hislittlelife]

@nootsadog1 I dont see how what I have said is in the slightest controversial? It isnt about being accepted or cool. Its about making mistakes, doing things you probably shouldnt and experiencing the world.

[nootsadog1]

@hislittlelife please don't talk like this, rite of passage for teenagers? No, not all of us need to be accepted or "cool". I suppose I can see where you're coming from, but when I went to see him live he said that it was about a friend, not neccessarilly a teenager
