"40 Stories" lyrics

"40 Stories"

This life is harder - so much harder
You say that life has so much weight, it wears you down
And higher, you're so much higher
40 stories high is such a long way down

Run, run into the middle
Or you can be still - lean into the ledge
You can fall hard - as you feel it giving away

So much insane, a deep black hole
The sun will come, it'll warm your soul
It's fast as light, the speed of sound
One life, one love; down, down, down

Harder, it's so much harder
You blame it on your friend; you say she'll let you down
Angel, another angel
You blame it on the bitch; you say she'll let you drown

Run, run into the middle
Or you can fall hard - as you feel it giving away

So much insane, a deep black hole
The sun will come, it'll warm your soul
It's fast as light, the speed of sound
One life, one love - never let them take it away

Higher, you're so much higher
40 stories high is such as long way down

So much insane, a deep black hole
The sun will come, it'll warm your soul
It's fast as light, the speed of sound
One life, one love - never let them take it away
One life, one love - never let them take it away
One life, one life, one love
