These Days - Lyrics

I kept the flowers that you picked 

They’re now dried up on my shelf

Yellow wildflowers, and all I’m thinking about 

Is what if we had a go again 

I’m sorry things went the way they did

But I don’t doubt it’s what I needed

I did the dirty work, down on my knees in history’s dirt

And it’s brought me back 

I would understand 

If you’ve since moved on 

But Give me just one chance to say 

That I can’t get you off my mind 

These days

I can’t get you off of my mind 

these days

I was living in a desert land 

And when you came it was like the sea

I can testify that you brought back to life

The withered heart inside of me 

But many the fears and a heavy past

Though I was so dang sure I was done with that 

I traded all my peace for pain 

I had to leave to cut the chain

Now it’s brought me back 

I would understand 

If you’ve since moved on 

But Give me just one chance to say 

That I can’t get you off my mind 

These days

I can’t get you off of my mind 

these days

I have no intent in playing games 

I just can’t deny 

this feeling that’s inside me like a flame 

every time 

I think of your green eyes 

How they give me life like summertime

I would understand 

If you’ve since moved on 

But Give me just one chance to say 

That I can’t get you off my mind 

These days

I can’t get you off of my mind 

these days
