40 Hours Lyrics - Sound The Alarm - Howie Day

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 

Warning comes and goes 

And I'm tangled in the throes 

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 kaleidoscope of bloom 

A mirror broke in two 

Photos 

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 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
