The Old Days

from Lit By Sparks by Villareal

about

'The Old Days' is about looking back and remembering a particularly traumatic relationship and putting all the pieces back together in the wrong order to create a scenario that never really existed.
It contains some of our best lyrics (if i may so humbly say so...)

lyrics

They told me, I folded like a leaf...

You're Monday, I'm Tuesday and so I follow you around
You're lazy, I'm crazy to pick you up when you fall down

It's like I'm talking to myself
It's far beyond a joke its somewhere else...

Chorus:

This way we won't ever be alone
There's nothing to do so I listen to you just like the old days

You're Monday, I'm Sunday and so I finish what you start
They sold it, so I bought it and now I'm made up of spare parts

It's like the world is made of ice-cream
I can't believe there's nowhere else to be

Repeat Chorus

In my world, well it's largely second-hand
I'm down on my luck and I don't have a plan just like the old days

Repeat Chorus

Where are the old days? Bring back the old ways

(Words & Music by Simon Parker)
