40 Nights

For 40 nights for 40 winters

In between the sirens and the thunder

We fell asleep without a blanket

Lying on a mattress heavy with daydreamin

And suddenly we're starting over

Something in my brain forgets how hard it is

I hope this time I see the good side

I'm never even sure where I belong

Are your arms somewhere I can go?

I've been wide awake and on my own

Are your arms somewhere I can go?

I'm finding things I kept in boxes

Underneath the mattress and out into the sea

It must've been another lifetime

Another animal I lived in under a thick skin

I hope this time I see the good side

I'm never even sure where I belong

Are your arms somewhere I can go?

I've been torn apart and on my own

Are your arms somewhere I can call home?
