Counting Backwards Lyrics - Singles - The Velvet Teen

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 

[Chorus]: 

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 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus]
