These Days

it's cold when you're standing here
 out on a ledge
 waiting for a hand
 look at how much weight
 we put on a kiss
 and what we'll do just to stand near it
 are we trying too hard
 or just not enough
 are we resting our fate
 on the traps of love
 are we giving ourselves
 to places we hate
 just to see if there's something else
 written on the backs of these days
 yeah
 look at how long
 it's taken us to get here
 it's taken us nowhere
 yet it's taken us here
 with our backs up against the wall
 that could never be built
 if we weren't here at all, yeah
 are we trying too hard
 or just not enough
 are we resting our fate
 on the traps of love
 are we giving ourselves
 to places we hate
 just to see if there's something else
 written on the backs of these days
 on the backs of these days
 something must be there
 on the backs of these days
 oh i just got to believe
 something is out there and
 someone will save me
