40 Over - Alternate Version

40 over down the Queensway, it's been a long day
Still I'm holding up (Somehow, that's easy to say)
Been a lot of negativity that I don't really need
Still I soak it up (Somehow, it's easy that way)

Skin on skin
Tell me I'm gonna get it right this time
Skin on skin
Numb to everyone, your hand in mine

She's a Midwest beauty waiting all alone for me
Searching for words to relate
Kinda hoping when I get there
She'll spend a night alone with me
I'm getting carried away
40 miles, I'm at her front door
Been a long, long drive
But somehow, it's easy

Skin on skin
Tell me I'm gonna get it right this time
Skin on skin
Numb to everyone, your hand in mine
When I remember how I feel
When you're standing in the moonlight, I stay up all night
And well, now I feel like it's what the world would be like
If we all breathe in the stars like you do

Smile at me from across the room
Reprehending me the way you do
With your hazel eyes, so peculiar to you
Smile at me from across the room
Reprehending me the way you do
With your hazel eyes, so peculiar to you

Skin on skin
Tell me I'm gonna get it right this time
Skin on skin
Numb to everyone, your hand in mine
When I remember how I feel
When you're standing in the moonlight, I stay up all night
And well, now I feel like it's what the world would be like
If we all breathe in the stars like you do
