Counting Down The Days Lyrics

I'm counting down the days,
Love seems strange to me

Excuse Me,
You're killing me
With your heartbreak and your wild side
I've been looking for something to open my eyes
Holding it up to the light only locks it away.

I'm counting down the days,
Love seems strange to me, to me.

Out of focus,
Joking the ups and downs.
Hocus Pocus,
No where to be found.
Holding it up to the light only locks it away
Coughing Excuses,
The smoke and the mirrors and me

I'm counting down the days
Love seems strange to me.

Coughing Excuses,
The smoke and the mirrors and me

I'm counting down the days
Love seems strange to me, to me.
I'm counting down the days
Love seems strange to me, to me.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
