Days Before You Came Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that change their name
And a horn of plenty
Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine
Couldn't start to hide me

[Chorus]
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

[Verse 2]
Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
To be naked and profane
There is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway

[Chorus]
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

[Bridge]
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
[Outro]
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A definitive call back to “Scared of GIrls” from 1998, this track features heavily distortion and a frenetic pace. Stef said in 2001 it was a “belter live”, and they played it right up until 2003.
