Counted On Sweetness Lyrics by The Wrens

Secaucus

1996

"I was born too soon", that's how my grave will read
Lived to 35 but died at 17
It took an hour or so to reach the border as planned
A few miles from here I would never know
[Chorus A]
I'll confess what I've done in time
(It's time, I'll confess what I've done)
Lived through worse and never cared for anyone
They never seemed to mind for me
(It's time, never seemed to mind)
I left before they ever noticed I was gone
It's the facts blood knows laid out in front of you
Tied up in foolish news waiting for a view
In walked the left to lose / chained to please a few
I wonder who they'll choose / I wonder who
[Chorus A]
And all the time I've been waiting by them
Look at them they can't find me
In whispered to my ear, "what do you do until then"
Dream all you want my dear, it's a fitting end
[Chorus B]
They can't seem to (I confess what I've done)
Right before they ever noticed I was
They can't take my (Never seemed to mind)
Never seemed to time never seemed to
All the time they remind me why
[Chorus C]
I confess what I've done in time (I confess what I've done)
Before they ever noticed I was
They never seemed to mind before we learned (Never seemed to mind)
Before I never cared for anyone
(I want them all)
