Counting Backwards Lyrics
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
but when you get too 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
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
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
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
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
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
if you promise to carry me
we'll carry we
it's a simple thing
you and me

this is my favorite velvet teen song as well...there is just something about it
"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" pure beauty... i <3 it
this song is awesome, its my first song i heard of velvet teen and its my favorite of velvet teen. i like the lyrics alooot. good ones to catch a girls heart.

stupid brother
i adore this song so much. its so gorgeous. gah i want sing it at the top of my lungs to someone and profess my love for them. yes the velvet teen owns.
Yeah. This song does truly rock. Probably my favourite Velvet Teen song...as soon as the "add lyrics" bit is up, I'll add all the songs I have on my two albums.
The lyrics are beautiful...yeah. If you read them out loud they sound like poetry, the kind a modern writer would be ashamed to write...you don't hear love poems so much anymore, everyone's so cynical. This one is kind of lonely (when you get too close I run and hide) but then it gets that feeling of "it'll be alright". This is the song I'd recommend to someone who feels their love is failing.
