[Verse 1] I kept your name in a drawer Next to the old train ticket The blue ink bled to gray But I still keep it Your hoodie on the chair Like you might come back The room still knows your shape It remembers that [Pre-Chorus] I go back there in my mind When the night gets thin Same cracked sidewalk Same summer skin [Chorus] The days it used to be The days it used to be I still hear you calling me The days it used to be (used to be) The days it used to be Where did they go from me? I hold them like a memory The days it used to be (used to be) [Verse 2] The corner store still sells The gum you always liked I stand there with my hands Like I’m passing time And every little thing Keeps your ghost alive A red porch light, a screen door A late July [Pre-Chorus] I go back there in my mind When the rain comes down Same loud laughter Same small town [Chorus] The days it used to be The days it used to be I still hear you calling me The days it used to be (used to be) The days it used to be Where did they go from me? I hold them like a memory The days it used to be (used to be) [Bridge] Maybe time don’t break It just pulls apart Little threads of gold From a stubborn heart So I let it ache Let it stay with me Some things don’t leave They just go softly [Chorus] The days it used to be The days it used to be I still hear you calling me The days it used to be (used to be) The days it used to be Where did they go from me? I hold them like a memory The days it used to be (used to be)
