Counting Down The Days Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Salvosmith 

Cover art for Counting Down The Days lyrics by Natalie Imbruglia

It is a song about being physically a part from the loved one. She was living in London while her husband was in Australia, because of their carrers they had to live so far away. Australia is the other part of the world, and you really feel the huge distance. I lived in Sydney for 3 months, I loved it, but I felt the distance from home. Natalie was in London, but all her family, her husmand, and cildhood friends were in Australia. Travelling through time makes me thing of the fact that in Australia they are 11 hours in the future than in UK. So while she goes to Australia to "surprise" her beloved husband, she feels like she is travelling 11 hours in the future
