We've been around on the other side of innocence Now we're waking up to AM radio I felt my fingers but I couldn't keep from laughing Your body language said you knew that this would happen I'm digging a hole for the days of the old I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em Fingerprints show on the walls of my home Buried, and turn off the radio, turn off the radio I will always remember Making out 'til the sun went down Counting stars from the hood of a car Catching my friends as they were falling down Rise and shine to a headache and a question My keys were lost and my morals came up missing Opportunities were open for the taking I tried to leave but couldn't keep the floors from shaking Digging a hole from the days of the old I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em Fingerprints show on the walls of my home Buried, and turn off the radio, turn off the radio I will always remember Making out 'til the sun went down Counting stars from the hood of a car Catching my friends as they were falling down Take me back to the ocean Right before we had to drive away We made a promise when we said goodbye We swore it wouldn't be the last time This is where the summer ends No more clothes left dry in the sand It was good, no, it was amazing Tell me that you won't, won't forget about me I will always remember Making out 'til the sun went down Counting stars from the hood of a car Catching my friends as they were falling down Take me back to the ocean Right before we had to drive away We made a promise when we said goodbye We swore it wouldn't be the last time Swore it wouldn't be the last time, the last time

    General Comment:We've been around on the other side of innocence
    Now we're waking up to AM radio
    I felt my fingers but I couldn't keep from rapping
    Your body language said you knew that this would happen

    I'm digging a hole for the days of the old
    I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em
    Fingerprints show on the walls of my home
    They're reading turn off the radio, turn off the radio

    I will always remember
    Making out till the sun went down
    Counting stars from the hood of a car
    Catching my friends as they were falling down.

    Rise and shine to a headache and a question
    My keys were lost and my morals came up missing
    Opportunities were open for the taking
    I tried to leave but couldn't keep the floors from shaking

    I'm digging a hole for the days of the old
    I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em
    Fingerprints show on the walls of my home
    They're reading turn off the radio, turn off the radio

    I will always remember
    Making out till the sun went down
    Counting stars from the hood of a car
    Catching my friends as they were falling down.

    Take me back to the ocean
    Right before we had to drive away
    We made a promise when we said goodbye
    Swore it wouldn't be the last time

    This is where the summer ends.
    No more clothes left right in the sand.

    It was good, no, it was amazing
    Tell me that you won't,
    Won't forget about me.

    I will always remember
    Making out till the sun went down
    Counting stars from the hood of a car
    Catching my friends as they were falling down.

    Take me back to the ocean
    Right before we had to drive away
    We made a promise when we said goodbye
    Swore it wouldn't be the last time

    Swore it wouldn't be the last time, the last time.


    no lyrics for this song that are posted online are correct, so i did my best to correct them myself, they could be a little wrong still but better than what's posted above.

    General Comment:yea, it's definitely days of the old.
    not only does it sound like it, but when i saw them live, they sang old, not cold.

    General Comment:doesn't it make sense for it to be "i'm digging a hole for the days of the OLD" instead of days of the COLD?
    i don't know...
    i'm just guessing.
    it's only the name of the song...


    and this song is pretty self explanatory.
