Countdown Lyrics

I'm waiting on the countdown
Sitting in the shade
Things about to turn around
How the madness fades
Oh, Ive been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Just waiting on the countdown
Time slips away
Oh, this feeling lingers
Right here I'm going to stay
Ive been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Just waiting on the countdown
So I'm sitting in the shade
Under the dreaming tree
Now the madness fades
Right here I'm going to be
Oh, Ive been waiting on the countdown
Things about to turn around
And now I'm out of the lost and found
Just waiting on the countdown

Cover art for Countdown lyrics by Lindsey Buckingham

It's about new beginnings. Waiting on the countdown means waiting for New Year's Eve countdown, because that's a symbolic new start. He is going to be another person next year, he has New Year resolutions and he is going to meet them. Soche waits quietly, "sitting in the shade", until New Year comes. And when it comes, he is going to kick it, and rock this world wild.

I've been trying to figure out the meaning of this one for about 25 years now but still haven't the foggiest idea.

@tsully818 it means another thing to everybody, don't worry. Just enjoy the music bro :)

@tsully818 it’s about waiting for the stars in your life to finally align

@WiseOldGuy good call, man. Never thought it could be about marriage, but makes perfect sense, if you analize the song. It's about strong feelings, after all.
