counting stars

Leaves are scattered on the ground

this season's almost over

Now if I could tell you something

That'd be"sorry"

But I'm still writing this letter

'Cause I can't stand another year like this one

It's wasting away

So I won't stand aside

I've never been this aspiring and lonely

I'm still counting what's not mine

This might hurt you

I'm so sorry for that

But I'm on my way back to where it started

And I am counting stars tonight

Now the wind blows harder and harder but it feels so calm against my skin

and I can't leave this all behind

So I'm still writing this letter

After all the stories end

Can I say "I've tried my best"?

But the days are closing in and I...

I've never been this aspiring and lonely

I'm still counting what's not mine

This might hurt you

I'm so sorry for that

But I'm on my way back to where it started

And I am counting stars tonight

Tonight...

There you are

Here I stand impatiently

I know, I know, I know that you'll close your eyes

But I won't, I won't, I won't I won't stand aside

I'm getting sick and tired of going nowhere

So I just sit here counting stars everyday

Dreaming of a place where I thought I would never be

It seems like this city never falls asleep with me

(As you're leaving me here

I'll stay for the last goodbye

Or I'd be gone before you know

Into the haze of this city)

I know, I know, I know that you'll close your eyes

But I won't, I won't, I won't I won't stand aside
