Days and Days

Another sunbeam on the floor
Don't need to answer the door
This city breathes, and I'm just a guest
Putting my own solitude to the test
And I'm fine with it, yeah, I'm really fine with it

But then the evening casts a spell
I see a couple near the well
They share a look I used to know
And for a second, I let go

And for a moment, I forget my way
Think I need somebody at the end of the day
But then the static clears, and I'm okay
It's just a feeling that comes and goes, for days and days

I order coffee, just for one
Reading the paper in the sun
The waiter knows me, he just nods his head
Happy with the quiet life I've led
Yeah I'm good with it, you know I'm really good with it

But then a song starts on the radio
A bittersweet and soft hello
From a feeling I had locked away
And for a second, I want to stay

And for a moment, I forget my way
Think I need somebody at the end of the day
But then the static clears, and I'm okay
It's just a feeling that comes and goes, for days and days

'Cause I remember airports, saying goodbye
The silent treatment and the alibis
The "who is she?" and the "where you been?"
Oh, I'm not ready to begin again

Days and days
Just a feeling that goes away
Yeah, it goes away
Days and days
