Lately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my headThere's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
The only chance I had to make it betterThe shadow on the wall
Is looking down from 10 feet tall
And I wonder what it sees
As I stumble through the streetsTo 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 hereWarning comes and goes
And I'm tangled in the throes
In the stillness of my room
And the bandage on my woundMy heart becomes a bird
She said freely, just a word
And now I'm wishing
That I had never met her40 hours and counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep herePeople rushing by
Out the corner of my eye
A kaleidoscope of bloom
A mirror broke in two
A thousand little stars
And a million little wars
Scattered out upon the open desert40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep hereA world is set ablaze
By a never ending haze
And you're closer than a tear
I see you ever clearThe rush is in the veins
And there's nothing else to blame
But every minute
Every hour, every second40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here
Shut my eyes and sleep to dreamLately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my headThere's nothing I can do
To keep from feeling like I blew
The only chance I had to make it better
