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 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 tangle in the throes
In the stillness of my room
And the 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 bloom
A mirror broke in two

A thousand little stars
And in a million little wars
Scattered out across the open desert

40 hours
And counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here

[instrumental]

A world is set ablaze
By a never ending haze
And you´re closer than a tear
I see you ever clear

The rushes 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 thru 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
