[Verse 1]

It's a take-out weekend

It's a fake-out smile and pretend

If nobody sees you cry

You can say it was raining outside

[Chorus]

And all that you want

Is a few days down

All that you need

A little time to drown

It's to be expected

With all the weight you carry ‘round

All that you want is

A few days down

[Verse 2]

It's a short vacation

To a foreign nation

Oh, nothing familiar here

Just you and your lonesome heart complaining

[Chorus]

And all that you want

Is a few days down

All that you need

A little time to drown

It's to be expected

With all the weight you carry ‘round

All that you want is

A few days down

Oh, a few days down

[Bridge]

I'm looking out

Ten stories high

And like a blanket lifted

The quiet night

The city finally waking up

To the morning light

[Chorus]

And all that you want

Is a few days down

All that you need

A little time to drown

It's to be expected

With all the weight you carry ‘round

All that you want is

A few days down

[Outro]

Oh, a few days down

Oh, a few days down

Oh, a few days down
