[Verse 1]
The plans that I made
Seem to fade into grey
I had something to say yesterday
And grabbed them, know I tried
Right before my eyes

[Chorus]
The days keep passing me by
The days keep passing me by

[Verse 2]
Now all of my work
Is buried deep in the dirt
At the back of the wardrobe
Like some old forgotten shirt
No consolation prize
'Cause right before my eyes

[Chorus]
The days keep passing me by
The days keep passing me by

[Verse 3]
But say that we're awake
In the new and different place
Where the road map to worry
No longer shows on my face
Where not a single sunrise
Ever goes to waste
And the days don't pass me by
[Bridge]
Come on now

[Verse 4]
At least there is hope
That the heroes in white coats
Can bring us back to life
With their high tech microscopes
And I swear, I will try
Cross my heart and hope to die

[Outro]
I won't let them days pass me by
I won't let my life pass me by
