Why Do I Keep Counting? Lyrics - Sam's Town - The Killers

There's a plane and I am flying 

There's a mountain waiting for me 

Oh, these years have been so trying 

I don't know if I can use them 

Am I strong enough to be the one? 

(Am I strong enough to be the one?) 

Will I live to have some children? 

(Children) 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 

I wouldn't be bothering you, Father 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 

And if all our days are numbered 

Then why do I keep counting?

My sugar sweet is so attainable 

This behaviour so unexplainable 

The days just slip and slide 

Like they always did 

The trouble is my head 

Won't let me forget 

I took one last good look around 

(So many unusual sounds) 

I gotta get my feet on the ground 

Help me get down 

I can make it, oh 

Photos 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 

I wouldn't be bothering you, Father 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

Help me get down 

I can make it, help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 

And if all our days are numbered 

Would you help me get down? 

(Help me get down) 

(I can make it, help me get down) 

(Help me get down) 

(I can make it, help me get down) 

If I only knew the answer 

If I change my way of living 

And if I pave my streets with good times 

Will the mountain keep on giving? 

And if all of our days are numbered 

Then why do I keep counting?
