Days Are Gone Lyrics

And I got back up
When I lost control over it all, over it all
And I knew that I couldn't take no more
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
All the times I've said it
All the times I've said it before
Those Days Are Gone
'Cause you didn't know how
And I know that now
I want it all, I want it all

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

I remember when you found it hard to give
But I gave it all, I gave you my all
You only took one side
When all my hopes ran dry
Those dreams are gone, gone all along
All the times I said it
All the times I've said it before
I'm moving on
You can have my past, I'll never get that back
I'm moving on, 'cause those days are gone

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Those days are gone, those days are gone
Those days are gone, holding on,
Holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
Those days are gone

Days Are Gone

The Haim sisters wrote this song with British pop soul songstress Jessie Ware and her frequent songwriting partner, Nu-Folk artist Kid Harpoon. The American trio met Ware through a mutual friend while they were on tour in London and despite her tight schedule, managed to pen this tune during a five-hour lunch. Haim didn't set out to write a song that would end up on Days On Gone since as Alana of the trio explained to Radio.com , "It was mostly like, 'Let's write a song so you don't get in trouble,'" but they soon realized it was too good to pass up.

Danielle Haim told MTV News why they named their debut album after this song. The sisters had intended to go the eponymous route but changed their minds after realizing "Days Are Gone" was the perfect metaphor for their many missed album deadlines. "A lot of people actually wanted us to hand in the record a lot earlier than we did because the Forever EP, came out over a year ago," she said. "But it wasn't right."

Haim wrote the chorus with Jessie Ware in an hour. Este Haim told NME: "The entire first line was written after a dinner we had at 11 at night in the studio. The first thing I sang when I got on the mic stuck."
Alana added: "The spirit of Mariah Carey just flew into Este's body."
