The Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It seems like just yesterday
We were posing in knock-off frames
Spiking up our lemonade
Smiling in a cap and gown
I don't know what to say
I know I've been M-I-A
The dreams I just had to chase
Been runnin' me 'round

[Pre-Chorus]
The other day it hit me like a hammer
That you can't get back those moments that really matter

[Chorus]
Another candle on a cake
Another month on a page
You blink, another year under the sun we all go 'round
It's hello and goodbye and
It's knowing that it's flying away
And there's no way to slow it down
Instead of counting up the days
I just wanna make 'em count

[Verse 2]
I need to catch up with my sister
Our old jacket pins and stickers
Sometimes the bigger picture is in the little things
Hiding out in aisle three
In the CVS from that gossip queen
Who'd have told the whole town if she'd seen us acting fifteen (Again)

[Pre-Chorus]
The other day it hit me like a hammer
That you can't get back all those moments that really matter

[Chorus]
Another candle on a cake
Another month on a page
You blink, another year under the sun we all go 'round
It's hello and goodbye and
It's knowing that it's flying away
And there's no way to slow it down
Instead of counting up the days
I just wanna make 'em count

[Bridge]
I don't want 'em to add up to nothing
Make 'em count
'Cause if it's all I got I want 'em to mean something

[Chorus]
Every candle on a cake
Every month on a page
You blink, another year under the sun we all go 'round
Hello and goodbye and
I know that they're flying away
And there's no way to slow 'em down
Instead of counting up the days
I just wanna make 'em count

[Outro]
Yeah, I just wanna make 'em count
