Counting on You Again (version 2)

Verse

Two a.m. and the bar is down

Your voice on the phone, says you're still around

Subway's humming quiet like the crowd

Sweat on your collarbone I caught when you walked out

Taped up my heart, kept it locked tight in this chest

But now the bus line's running right behind your dress

Pre-Chorus

Two doors down and I feel it lift

One more step and I don't resist

Amber light on the corner glows

What if tonight isn't an if

Counting on you, counting on you

Chorus

Every minute's a countdown to your door

Every heartbeat is waiting for something more

I'm counting on you again and again

Two doors down, I don't want to run out of time

Clock tower chiming like it knows my mind

I'm counting on you again

Every streetlight's ticking down to one

Verse

Coffee shop windows stacked with yesterday's news

Cigarette smoke curls in the morning dew

I keep your sweater folded soft inside my duffel bag

The way the sunlight catches the scar by your jaw

Do you still remember the way that we talked all night

Or is it just me who can't seem to forget

Pre-Chorus

Two doors down and I feel it lift

One more step and I don't resist

Amber light on the corner glows

What if tonight isn't an if

Counting on you, counting on you

Chorus

Every minute's a countdown to your door

Every heartbeat is waiting for something more

I'm counting on you again and again

Two doors down, I don't want to run out of time

Clock tower chiming like it knows my mind

I'm counting on you again

Every streetlight's ticking down to one

Bridge

What if the countdown's just a rhyme for us two

Counting on forever instead of just till then

What if tonight's not about an hourglass but a life

If we don't run out, I'll spend it all with you

Chorus

Every minute's a countdown to your door

Every heartbeat is waiting for something more

I'm counting on you again and again

Two doors down, I don't want to run out of time

Clock tower chiming like it knows my mind

I'm counting on you again

Every streetlight's ticking down to one
