This is a story of you and me, on a desert island
surrounded by the rolling sea
The winter was closing in and the rides were all shutting down
We needed to get out of this sleepy boardwalk town
Wind was growing colder in time
Started blowing over, whispering through our conscious mind
I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea
floating toward the spring, racing toward the light
We’ve got to make it through these Days of Night
We learned to weather any storm, kept it together
we dreamed about moving on
Waiting for our lucky break, no matter how long it takes
determined to get away, we had everything at stake
Everything gets better in time
The only thing that matters, is that you cross the finish line
I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea
floating toward the spring, racing toward the light
We’ve got to make it through these Days of Night
(G-D-F#sus-F#-Bm-E-Em7-A7)
Baby we’re on top of the world, nothing’s gonna break us
Ya know that nothing worth a damn is ever gonna come that easy
But I feel it in my bones, with every little beat of my heart
Lead over Verse
Everything got better in time
Honey all that matters, is we tore down that finish line
I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea
floating toward the spring, racing toward the light
I knew we’d make it through these Days of Night
