Darker Days

[Verse 1]
Maples hang low
Ice on the road
Puddles, muddy snow
Sun down at four

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock me down, don't ever let me go
Drive around a dead-end cul-de-sac road
Let me drown in a pile of northern gold
'Cause in this town, it's not a pretty show

[Chorus]
Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days
On the darker days

[Verse 2]
White in my hair
Age me, who cares
Boredom, messy affairs, mm
Table of empty chairs

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock me down (Down), don't evеr let me go
Drive around ('Round) a dеad-end cul-de-sac road
Let me drown (Drown) in a pile of northern gold
'Cause in my town, it's not a pretty show

[Chorus]
Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days
On the dark—

[Bridge]
I dream of long nights, feelin' the life
Not doin' the same thing a million times
The best part of winter is the middle of July
Hold tight to the light before it dies
Before it dies

[Outro]
Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go (Once I let it go, I let it go)
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days (Days)
On the darker days
On the darker days
On the darker days
