Why Do I Keep Counting

The Killers-Why Do I Keep Counting

Album:Sam's Town

LRC Produced By

There's a plane and I am flying

There's a mountain waiting for me

Oh these years have been so trying

I don't know if I can use them

Am I strong enough

To be the one?

Will I live to have some children?

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

If I only knew the answer

I wouldn't be bothering you, Father

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

If I only knew the answer

And if all our days are numbered

Then why do I keep counting?

My sugar sweet

Is so attainable

This behaviour so unexplainable

The days just slip and slide

Like they always did

The trouble is my head

Won't let me forget

I took one last good look around

So many unusual sounds

I gotta get my feet on the ground

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

If I only knew the answer

I wouldn't be bothering you, Father

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

Help me get down

I can make it

Help me get down

If I only knew the answer

And if all our days are numbered

Would you help me get down?

If I only knew the answer

If I change my way of living

And If I pave my streets with the good times

Will the mountain keep on giving?

And if all of our days are numbered

Then why do I keep counting?
