Counting Spooks Lyrics

You know it's gonna hurt
Sore feet dragged through the dirt
Hit me right here
The lazy way we love
Good times we're dreaming of
Hit me right here

It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just tired of numbers

Night vision on
Get the missionaries home
Hit me right here
You know where I start
And you know where I end
Hit me right here

It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just so tired of numbers
Holding it together
We're holding it together

And it's getting late
The skyline's a state
And this city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just so tired of numbers

Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding, holding, holding
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding, holding, holding

Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors

You know it's gonna hurt
Sore feet dragged through the dirt
Hit me right here
The lazy way we love
Good times we're dreaming of
Hit me right here

It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just tired of numbers

Night vision on
Get the missionaries home
Hit me right here
You know where I start
And you know where I end
Hit me right here

It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just so tired of numbers
Holding it together
We're holding it together

And it's getting late
The skyline's a state
And this city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just so tired of numbers

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.
