Thematically, “The Days to Come” is something like a sequel to the 77s' previous song “I Can’t Get Over It.” That song is about being unable to forgive someone; this one encourages someone not to hold the grudge.
[Verse 1]
I believe that we'll come out of this
With a healing compassion or a scarring bitterness
Don't revive painful times, let them rest
Don't drag a net through the sea of forgetfulness
[Chorus]
The cut was deep, the blood was warm
I can't deny what it's done

Don't ever let it go away
Sing it to your heart
Day after day after day
[Chorus]
The cut was deep, the blood was warm
I can't deny what it's done
But if we don't release the past
We'll slap the face
Of the days to come, whoa
The days to come, whoa
The days to come, whoa
The days to come, whoa
The days to come
[Guitar Solo]
