counting on you

(album: things that quicken the heart - 2018)

I need you like one, two
But what am I supposed to do?
I need you like three, four
But I'll need a little more
I want you like five, six
When you hear this, I hope it sticks
I want you like seven, eight
But you always come up late
And it's always one, two
Always nothing new
Why's it always like three, four?
Do you even care anymore?
I hate that it's five, six
How are you okay with this?
Yeah we go seven, eight
Why do you have to make me wait?

Yeah I'm always counting on you
Always counting on you
But you never pull through
When I just wanna hold you
Yeah I'm always counting on you
Always counting on you
But you never pull through
You can count on me to count on you

When I was thirteen
I wondered if you heard of me
Then I was eighteen
And you were in every dream
By twenty two
Spending every night with you
And at twenty five
You're never by my side
By thirty seven
Will you be there then?
I'll be forty two
Middle life crisis too
One day we'll be sixty five
Retired at half a life
When I'm seventy nine
Will I die by your side?

Yeah I'm always counting on you
Always counting on you
But you never pull through
When I just wanna hold you
Yeah I'm always counting on you
Always counting on you
But you never pull through
You can count on me to count on you

You can count on me to count on you
You can count on me to count on

Love you like one, two
I'm glad that we made it through
I love you like three, four
It's even better than before

You and me together
I could count forever
I'll count to fucking infinity
You spent a year with me, baby
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
You can count on me to count on you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
You can count on me to count on you
