What Counts Lyrics by Chalk Circle

Mending Wall

0

[Verse 1]
Stabbed in the back by a man who says he's your friend
Spit in the face of deception as a means to an end
’Cause when you're hot, you're hot
Everybody feels it from your head to your toes
Slimy fingers need it
Easy to believe a press release from a friend

[Verse 2]
Journalists are screamin’ just to get a pic of your face
Starin' at a mirror makin' sure your head is on straight
'Cause when your life's a bestseller
Everybody reads it in a big black car
Feeling like a hypocrite
Oh how I wish you could get me out of this place

[Chorus]
Oh how I wish you could get me out of this place
Oh how I wish you could rescue me from this place
And you think you're after what-
Think you're after what really matters
You think you're after what counts
(What?)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh how I wish you could get me out of this place
Oh how I wish you could rescue me from this place
Oh how I wish you could get me out of this place
Oh how I wish you could rescue me from this place
Ooh, rescue me rescue me
Ooo, rescue me rescue me
