"Darker Days" lyrics

Maples hang low
Ice on the road
Puddles, muddy snow
Sun down at four

Lock me down, don't ever let me go
Drive around, the 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

Hanging on to a lightning 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

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

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

Hanging on to a lightning 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

I dream of long nights, feeling the life
I'm doing the same thing a million times
Best part of winter is the middle of July
I'll die to the lie before it dies
Before it dies

Hanging on to a lightning 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
