Well, you could've been an archetype
Or you could've been out on the ledge
There was a time when it felt alright
On the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge

Well, you could've done something good
And you could've tried to understand
But you couldn't quite hold it tight
In your hand, in your hand
In your hand, in your hand

These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on

These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on

Well, you could've been good to yourself
Or you could've checked out instead
Tell me, would it have been worthwhile?
In your head, in your head
In your head, in your head

Ooh, what, what, what could have been
Ooh, what, what, what could have been

These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on

These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on

These days (slow days)
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days (slow days)
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on (keep on speeding on)

These days (slow days)
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on
These days (slow days)
Slow days
Go speeding on by, speeding on (keep on speeding on)
