And Counting

For me, this song is a beautiful and painful representation of the mental state you enter when there's distance separating you and your significant other. In a long distance relationship, it feels like you're counting down life. The only thing that matters is how many days there are left until you can see your love again.

So I think this is a reference to how Lights and Beau can't see each other when they're on tour.

As kelliexo mentioned the meaning is pretty obvious. Great song. Check out what I guess is 'Beau's side': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Kuu2vbQiA It's called 40 Days. You'll notice a few of the same lyrics.

Forty days and counting I'm going to sleep when I wake up there will be Thirty nine more days left

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me Until I fall asleep and you are with me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Thirty days and counting I'm going to sleep when I wake up there will be Twenty nine more days left

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me Until I fall asleep and you are with me

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me Until I fall asleep and you are with me

Forty days and counting I'm going to sleep when I wake up there will be Thirty nine more days left

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me 'til I fall asleep and you are with me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Thirty days and counting I'm going to sleep when I wake up there will be Twenty nine more days left

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me 'til I fall asleep and you are with me

I'll stay right here Up all night dear I'll stay right here 'till you're right here

When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me When I fall asleep I feel you with me 'til I fall asleep and you are with me

When I listened to this song I got the idea that she was talking about her fiancee, Beau and how she counts down the days until she sees him again. I think it would make sense, seeing as they're both music artists and on the road quite a bit. I get the feeling of longing and loneliness in this song.

I think it's about missing the other person and thinking about them before you fall asleep.
