Counting Backwards Lyrics by The Velvet Teen

Plus, Minus, Equals

0

Maybe tomorrow marks the end
Of this painful phase we're in
Maybe the sunrise shows the way for us
Maybe the stars that fill your eyes
Are the stars that have been
Leading me my whole life
Just to end up with you
Cause when you get so close I run and hide
Close your eyes, count backwards
I don't give up without a fight
Here I come, I'll find you
And love, I'm yours
If you'll turn me out
When you need me, I'll be there
We hide and seek
But always leave hand in hand, in hand
Maybe this chapter marks the start
Of no more broken hearts
Maybe the letters all spell out happiness
Maybe the words aren't always kind
But they're never meant
To make you feel alone
Just to stand up to you
Cause when you get so close I run and hide
Close your eyes, count backwards
I don't give up without a fight
Here I come, I'll find you
And love, I'm yours
If you'll turn me out
When you need me, I'll be there
We hide and seek
But always leave hand in hand, in hand
And I'll carry you
If you promise to carry me
We'll carry we
It's a simple thing
You and me
You and me
Oh!
Cause when you get so close I run and hide
Close your eyes, count backwards
I don't give up without a fight
Here I come, I'll find you
And love, I'm yours
If you'll turn me out
When you need me, I'll be there
We hide and seek
But always leave hand in hand, in hand
