Counting The Days Lyrics

Lying in some hotel room far away from love
Tired in a way that few could know
Beaten by the long arm and the footsteps from above
Listening to the traffic below
Bad thoughts banging on my door
I don't wanna talk today
Would you go away a while
And leave me be?
I set out traveling long ago
You know it wasn't easy letting go
Now the thing I love the most is killing me

And my years are showing
My children are growing
It’s too late now to roll back the dial
In my heart I'm knowing
It's time to get going
The years are getting shorter all the whilе
I'm just counting the days
Gone and wasted away (Ooh)

Shipwrеcked promises are sinking deep within the mind
Another birthday gone and you’re running out of time
And you wish that you could trade back all the hours that you killed
For the places that you’ve been to and the boxes that you filled
But nobody wants to see the tears of a man
So you press your weary eyes
Into the palms of your hands
And you're waiting for the highs
To save you from the lows
Oh, your feet just wanna fly
But there’s nowhere to go

And my years are showing
My children are growing
It's too late now to roll back the dial
In my heart I'm knowing
It's time to get going
The years are getting shorter all the while
I'm just counting the days
Gone and wasted away

And my years are showing
My children are growing
It's too late now to roll back the dial
In my heart I'm knowing
It's time to get going
The years are getting shorter all the while
I'm just counting the days
Gone and wasted away

And my years are showing
My children are growing...
