Lyrics

Codex

[Verse 1]

I think about you all the time

I did this and I went there

And I think about you all the time

I think about you all the time

The day fades away and the night passes over

And I think about you all the time

I think about you all the time

Here come my shoes

Here comes me

One, two, one

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

I think about you all the time

Step after step

Block after block

I think about you all the time

I think about you all the time

The day fades away and the night passes over

And I think about you all the time

I hear, I say, I see, I do

I think about you all the time

I think about you all the time
