American Authors – Counting Down

[Verse 1]

This life I choose takes me so far away from you

So far away from you

It's bittersweet when I look at the screen of my phone

The picture of me and you

I miss every piece of you

[Verse 2]

The way you fall asleep on the couch at night

Laying in my arms always slows down time

When you drop me off, wish I'd miss my flight

'Cause I hate goodbyes, I hate goodbyes

Oh, I can't wait to see your smile again

[Chorus]

It's been five long nights not by your side, and I miss your touch

At 4 AM I call your phone and wake you up

To tell you three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love

I'll say it five more times, no, I won't lie, I miss you so much

Only four more nights 'til I get home, been long enough

And now there's three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love

[Verse 3]

It feels like years since the very last time I held you and I saw you last, I saw you last

The distance between us has messed with my heart

And it fucked with my head, with my head

[Verse 4]

The way you sing along to your 90's tunes

When we get so high laughing at cartoons

Drive the coast up north just to chase the view

Wish I could stay with you, wish I could stay with you

[Chorus]

It's been five long nights not by your side, and I miss your touch

At 4 AM I call your phone and wake you up

To tell you three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love

I'll say it five more times, no, I won't lie, I miss you so much

Only four more nights 'til I get home, been long enough

And now there's three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love

I've been counting down the hours till I see you, my love

I've been counting down the hours till I see you, my love

[Bridge]

I'm trying to close the distance

I'll see you any minute

I'm trying to close the distance

I'll see you any minute

I'll see you any minute

[Chorus]

It's been five long nights not by your side, and I miss your touch

At 4 AM I call your phone and wake you up

To tell you three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love
