Motel, sitting in the dark, empty room like an empty heart
Lovers stop but they never stay
They don't look back as they drive away
Maybe I...
Should fix this broken neon light
Fill in the cracks and paint it bright
Then maybe love will stop here tonight.

And if she knocks on my door
I'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than I ever thought I could be but,

These are the days
When I all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way
But for now I'm gonna have to face it
These are the days.

I gotta use this lonely time
To change the picture in my frame of mind
Outside the window there's a sunny day
I wanna feel it on my face
You and I...
We're out here looking for the same thing
An end to all the wondering
Waiting for someone to share this feeling

And if she knocks on my door
I'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes
And I know I'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than I ever thought I could be but...

These are the days
When all that I can do is dream
But I don't wanna spend forever
Living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And I just can't let it stay this way
But for now I'm gonna have to face it
These are the days.

These are the days between your hopes and fears
These are the moments that are still unclear
When it's still uncertain if she will appear
But like it or not
This is what I got.
