Motel, sitting in the dark,

empty room like an empty heart

Lovers stop but they never stay

They don't look back as they drive away

Maybe I...

Should fix this broken neon light

Fill in the cracks and paint it bright

Then maybe love will stop here tonight

And if she knocks on my door

I'll give her the key

Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be

Everything that she sees in me

More than I ever thought I could be but...

These are the days

When all that I can do is dream

But I don't wanna spend forever

Living in the in between

I'm stuck here in a place without love

And I just can't let it stay this way

But for now I'm gonna have to face it

These are the days

I gotta use this lonely time

To change the picture in my frame of mind

Outside the window there's a sunny day

I wanna feel it on my face

You and I...

We're out here looking for the same thing

An end to all the wondering

Waiting for someone to share this feeling

And if she knocks on my door

I'll give her the key

Just one look in her eyes

And I know I'll be

Everything that she sees in me

More than I ever thought I could be but...

These are the days

When all that I can do is dream

But I don't wanna spend forever

Living in the in between

I'm stuck here in a place without love

And I just can't let it stay this way

But for now I'm gonna have to face it

These are the days

These are the days between your hopes and fears

These are the moments that are still unclear

It's still uncertain if she will appear

But like it or not

This is what I got

oh but

These are the days

When all that I can do is dream

But I don't wanna spend forever

Living in the in between

I'm stuck here in a place without love

And I just can't let it stay this way

But for now I'm gonna have to face it

'Cause these are the days

These are the days

When all that I can do is dream

But I don't wanna spend forever

Living in the in between

I'm stuck here in a place without love

And I just can't let it stay this way

But for now I'm gonna have to face it

These are the days
