Counting Stars Again (версия 2)

Verse

Six a.m. and the diner's empty seat

Radio static turns into something sweet

Static becomes 'Fly Me to the Moon' again

I drive with windows down past where we first met

Same curve in the road that I know by heart now

Old tape rolling, catching every bump we took

Every crackle brings us back to who we were then

Pre-Chorus

So why do I miss this empty sky

Why does silence sound like home tonight

I could drive forever, but I guess this is the end of the road

Where am I headed if I'm still counting what's been lost

Every mile marker's a name that I forgot

Just the beat and nothing left to prove

Chorus

Counting stars again, one for every night we had

Static's just your voice singing louder than it ever did

I built this whole town out of every song that broke my heart

So yeah, count on me still believing in a brand new start

Every mile marker's a name I'll never know

Verse

Found the cassette tape behind the door

Tapes don't degrade, they just remember more

I'm playing the night we stole the keys to your truck

Radio's the only thing still talking back to me

The station skips and lands on something new

A song that was never written but I feel it too

Every static burst is a light bulb going off inside my chest

Like the whole town just opened up again instead of closed down

Pre-Chorus

So why do I miss this empty sky

Why does silence sound like home tonight

I could drive forever, but I guess this is the end of the road

Where am I headed if I'm still counting what's been lost

Every mile marker's a name that I forgot

Just the beat and nothing left to prove

Chorus

Counting stars again, one for every night we had

Static's just your voice singing louder than it ever did

I built this whole town out of every song that broke my heart

So yeah, count on me still believing in a brand new start

Every mile marker's a name I'll never know

Bridge

Maybe goodbye was just a record turning slow

Maybe endings are the only songs we own

I'm not leaving yet, I'm just changing channels

Static's just the silence learning how to shine again

Chorus

Counting stars again, one for every night we had

Static's just your voice singing louder than it ever did

I built this whole town out of every song that broke my heart

So yeah, count on me still believing in a brand new start

Every mile marker's a name I'll never know
