Lyrics

40 Days

40 days and I miss you I'm so high that I've lost my mind It's the summer I'm thinking of 40 days and I'm blown away If I saw something good I guess I wouldn't worry If I saw something good I guess I wouldn't care You said you're always sleeping But if so, I'll be leaving It's just that I'm always falling And it makes me feel bad Yeah If I saw something good I guess I wouldn't worry If I saw something good I guess I wouldn't care Used to try and watch you I'd center on the way that you smile I don't know Used to try and watch you I'd center on the way that you smile I don't know Summer air and I want you I center on the way that you smile I don't know Summer air and I want you I center on the way that you smile I don't know
