Howie Day - 40 Hours

@ 活在當下 制作

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

it seemed written down in stone

but now its all i can do to try and forget her

40 hours and counting

i could shut my eyes

and sleep here

warning comes and goes

and i'm tangled in the throws

in the stillness of my room

and the bandage on my wound

my heart becomes a bird

she said freely 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 kaliediscope of bloom

a mirror broke in two

a thousand little stars

and a million little wars

scattered out upon the open desert

40 hours and counting

i shut my eyes

and sleep here

a world is set ablaze

by a never ending haze

and you're closer than a tear

i see you everclear

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
