40 Hours Lyrics

Lately after dark I've been wandering through the park With the angry words you said wandering through my head There's nothing I can do to keep from feeling like I blew The only chance I had to make it better
The shadow on the wall is looking down from 10 feet tall And I wonder what it sees as I stumble through the streets To never feel alone seemed written down in stone But now it's all I can do to try and forget her
40 hours and counting I could shut my eyes and sleep here
Morning comes and goes and I'm tangled in the throes Of the stillness of my room and a bandage on my wound My heart becomes a bird, she set free with just a word And now I'm wishing that I had never met her
40 hours and counting I could shut my eyes and sleep here
People rushing by out the corner of my eye A kaleidoscope of blue, a mirror broke in two A thousand little stars and a million little wars Scattered out across the open desert
40 hours and counting I shut my eyes and sleep here
My world is set ablaze by a never-ending haze And you're closer than a tear, I see you ever clear The rush is in the veins and there's nothing else to blame But every minute, every hour, every second
40 hours and counting I shut my eyes and sleep here Shut my eyes and sleep to dream
Lately after dark I've been wandering through the park With the angry words you said wandering through my head There's nothing I can do to keep from feeling like I blew The only chance I had to make it better
