Counting Stars (A Thing of the Past)

You've got me talking to myself
Healthy inflections claiming these words
You wanted it more than I did
I couldn't believe it; a romance in tears
Truth is stranger than fiction
You fit the description over the years

Chorus

Wake me when it's over
I've got my hands full of you
Gasping for breath in numbers
Strands of your hair in your eyes
And they said we wouldn't last
In the world we used to know
Love can either grow or die
We'll make a night of counting stars
Let's make a night of it
And do it all over again

Verse

Those days are lost forever
So better luck next time
A clear shot in the dark
You know, I didn't deserve this
My human interest, closing these walls

Chorus

Wake me when it's over
I've got my hands full of you
Gasping for breath in numbers
Strands of your hair in your eyes
And they said we wouldn't last
In the world we used to know
Love can either grow or die
We'll make a night of counting stars
Let's make a night of it
And do it all over again

Verse

Whether you like it or not
Caught up in the moment
Moving too fast
Lately, I've had it with love
I love you from a distance
Out of the past

Chorus

Wake me when it's over
I've got my hands full of you
Gasping for breath in numbers
Strands of your hair in your eyes
And they said we wouldn't last
In the world we used to know
Love can either grow or die
We'll make a night of counting stars
Let's make a night of it
And do it all over again

Post Chorus

Close your eyes
Take as long as you like
Make me a believer
Make me a greater chance of winning
This is as clear as it gets
So stop fighting (stop fighting)
I'm waiting on the sun
But, you're not ready (not ready)
I'm far from perfect, but I swear that
One of these days you're going to love me

Chorus

Wake me when it's over
I've got my hands full of you
Gasping for breath in numbers
Strands of your hair in your eyes
And they said we wouldn't last
In the world we used to know
Love can either grow or die
We'll make a night of counting stars
Let's make a night of it
And do it all over again
