Lyrics

Counting Down The Days

[Chorus]

I'm counting down the days

Love seems strange to me

[Verse 1]

Excuse me, you're killing me

With your heartbreak and your wild signs

I've been looking for something to open my eyes

Holding it up to the light only locks it away, hey

[Chorus]

I'm counting down the days

Love seems strange to me, to me

[Verse 2]

Out of focus, joking with the ups and downs

Hocus pocus, nowhere to be found

Holding it up to the light only locks it away, hey

Oh, coughing excuses, the smoke and the mirrors and me

[Chorus]

I'm counting down the days

Love seems strange to me, to me

[Bridge]

Coughing excuses, the smoke and the mirrors and me

[Chorus]

I'm counting down the days

Love seems strange to me, to me

I'm counting down the days

Love seems strange to me, to me
