Counting Stars

It's the thing about counting

You could hypothetically continue

For days and year and lifetimes

But for what?

This song that I sing

Echoes inside of me

Most can't hear a thing

But that's enough for me

Please don't count me out
I know what I did
Just don't count me out
I was just a kid

Thought I'd lost my dreams

Somewhere between pain and lonely

But that just what seems

Cause I'm lonely

So don't count me out this time
I couldn't bear it if you did

Just count your fingers

I was just a kid

I rest on the ground

Look up at the stars in the sky

As I count, I make not a sound

And let my thoughts fly to the sky

I said don't count me out

You know what I did

Just leave it where it is

I was just a kid

I smile now, just because

Amazes me that I hate the me

That I used to be, but what was

Is no long who I see as me

Oh don't count me out

Cause I know what I did

And it's not me anymore

I was just a kid

Back to talking about counting

It happens one after the other after the other

You have to count on something

Why not count on me?
