Lyrics

Intro

When the day is done

When the day is done

Verse 1

I was young on a second-hand bike

Racing shadows down the road

Dad was laughing by the driveway

Saying, "Careful how you grow"

He said, "The world will make you smaller

If you let it have its way

So keep some fire in your pocket

For the cold and ordinary days"

Pre-Chorus

Run where the wild wind goes

Hold what you love real close

These are the days you'll want back someday

Before you know

Chorus

When the day is done

I wanna know I lived it

With my hands wide open

And my heart still in it

When the day is done

I wanna leave here laughing

With the ones I love

And no time wasted

If I was here

If I was young

If I was wild

If I was wrong

I loved this life

When the day is done

Verse 2

I got older, I got careful

Started counting every line

Kept my best dreams for tomorrow

Like tomorrow owed me time

Then I heard him in the silence

Like a song from years ago

Saying, "Don't become a stranger

To the light inside your bones"

Pre-Chorus

Run where the wild wind goes

Hold what you love real close

These are the days you'll want back someday

Before you know

Chorus

When the day is done

I wanna know I lived it

With my hands wide open

And my heart still in it

When the day is done

I wanna leave here laughing

With the ones I love

And no time wasted

If I was here

If I was young

If I was wild

If I was wrong

I loved this life

When the day is done

Bridge

I won't remember every dollar

I won't remember every fight

But I'll remember who was with me

When the stars came out that night

I won't ask for perfect weather

I won't ask to stay the same

Just a little bit of courage

And a heart that knows my name

Final Chorus

When the day is done

I wanna know I lived it

With my hands wide open

And my heart still in it

When the day is done

I wanna leave here laughing

With the ones I love

And no time wasted

If I was here

If I was young

If I was wild

If I was wrong

I loved this life

When the day is done

Outro

I loved this life

When the day is done
