	Story Behind the Song Song was written in one day in Kelli's basement. It had been my first chance to hang out and play music with her in weeks, because of all the schoolwork I needed to keep up with. I was sick of it, and I had had enough. So she played the music, and I wrote these lyrics about how much I just wanted to get away from it all and go back to the way it was before school had to come back into the picture. It's about wanting freedom, wanting your summer, and wanting to steal some memories from the past and return them to the present. Profound, eh? Cuzzo came in the next day and recorded that little bendy thing over some parts, which really gives the song it's personality, I think. One day recording, on my crappy 4-track. No drums, no back-up vocals. Just the basics for the song. We'll be re-recording soon with better vocal quality, drums, and whatnot. For now, enjoy. Lyrics "These Days" Tilt my head back, dream about these days Dream about what it felt like to be free Dream about the summer sun rays My thoughts get caught floating in the past When the whole world belonged to us Could we have made those days last? Will we ever return to such a place? Such memories are hard to recreate I wish you would join me in the race Maybe I’m asking for too much Rather be grateful for what I’ve got It’s a feeling I can almost touch Dream about these things all day Helps to pass the time away Helps me to survive Feeling lost, feeling alone Till the earth thaws and we’re home Dream about these days Tilt my head back, dream about these days Dream about what it felt like to be free Dream about the summer sun rays Still thinking about what used to be Wish my head could penetrate these clouds That form their haze around me Some say I’m wasting all my time Leaving my mind buried inside the past It’s optimism, and it’s mine Maybe I’m asking for too much Rather be grateful for what I’ve got It’s a feeling I can almost touch Dream about these things all day Helps to pass the time away Helps me to survive Feeling lost, feeling alone Till the earth thaws and we’re home Dream about these days I dream about these things all day It helps to pass my time away Helps me to survive I’m feeling lost, feeling alone Till the earth thaws and I’m home I dream about these days… Maybe I’m asking for too much Rather be grateful for what I’ve got It’s a feeling that I can almost touch
