Counting Down

Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #singersongwriter #folk
This is the first song I co-wrote with my new songwriting client! A tale of reluctant resignation after a too-long period of holding onto a relationship when the other person has already given up.
Lyrics
Get dressed or go out the way you are
It’s all the same to me
Cardstock, write a formal invitation
You can tear it into pieces as soon as I leave
Running through a maze of wishful thinking
Navy, I can’t think of what to say
I only think in colors
Maybe, we’re caught in dichotomy
You’re always running numbers
Coming loose in a cage of halting feeling
We’re at an impasse, facing different ways
Come away from the ledge
I’m out of syntax and I’m shooting blanks
How do you want this to end?
I can hear you counting down
I can hear you counting down
Painful partings, exhibited as evidence for what god has deleted
Running through a maze of hopeless thinking
And I’m slowly sinking
We’re at an impasse, facing different ways
I brought a flare to a gunfight
I’m out of syntax, and you’re saving face
Join my soul in the long night
I can hear you counting down
I can hear you counting down
Painful partings, exhibited as evidence for what god has deleted
You’re enjoying the fruits of your victory
There’s nothing left of me
At the starting line, I brace my feet to fly
Get dressed or go out the way you are
It’s all the same to me
I’m gone, you’ll check all the empty rooms
It’s too late to find me
