Counting Backwards

maybe tomorrow marks the end

of this painful phase we're in

maybe the sunrise shows the way for us

maybe the stars that fill your eyes

are the stars that have been

leading me my whole life

just to end up with you

but when you get too close

i run and hide

close your eyes, count backwards

i don't give up

without a fight

here i come, i'll find you

and love, i'm yours

if you'll turn me out

when you need me, i'll be there

we hide and seek, but always leave

hand in hand

maybe this chapter marks the start

of no more broken hearts

maybe the letters all spell out happiness

maybe the words aren't always kind,

but they're never meant

to make you feel alone,

just to stand up to you

and i'll carry you

if you promise to carry me

we'll carry we

it's a simple thing

you and me

you and me
