Counting on Us

would you look at us now

seems like barely a moment has passed

and we're still here somehow

and they all said we'd never last

but now the song's not the same

even though we're still singing along

and there's no one to blame

nobody's done anything wrong

it's the price that we've paid

to cling to the promise we made

I know you've always got something to say

but now I need you to listen

I know that everyone thinks we're ok

we both know something's missing

but I'll go on counting on us

I need to keep counting on us

could be a ghost in my head

I can't seem to put my finger on

but I don't think that it's dead

I'm not even sure if it's gone

if we hit or we miss

we've come too far to settle for this

I know you've always got something to say

but now I need you to listen

I know that everyone thinks we're ok

we both know something's missing

but I'll go on counting on us

I need to keep counting on us

we were so close to dead on arrival right out of the gate

hard lessons in strength and survival - i know that it's not too late

I know you've always got something to say

but now I need you to listen

I know that everyone thinks we're ok

we both know something's missing

but I'll go on counting on us

I need to keep counting on us

I'm gonna be right here counting on us

just look at us now...
