Counting Down Lyrics


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 f..cked 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
