"Counting Down The Days" lyrics

"Counting Down The Days"

I'm just counting down the days
Caffeine's got me wired (Wired)
I've been spending too much time alone
Can't sleep 'cause I'm so tired (Tired)
Dreaming about the day I get back home

Maybe it's the price I have to pay
(Maybe it's the price I have to pay)
But every night I'm counting down the days
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

'Til I'm holding you again
'Til I'm getting on that plane
I'm just counting down the days

I don't understand it (Stand it)
Why we have to be this far apart
It ain't the way we planned it (Planned it)
Leaving you has always been so hard

I've been spending too much time away
(I've been spending too much time away)
And every night I'm counting down the days
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

'Til I'm holding you again
'Til I'm getting on that plane
I'm just counting down the days

And even when you leave me (Leave me)
I still feel you running through my blood (Running through my blood)
The only thing I'm needing (Needing)
Is the actual feeling of your touch

Maybe it's the price we have to pay
(Maybe it's the price we have to pay)
But every night I'm counting down the days
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

'Til I'm holding you again
'Til I'm getting on that plane
I'm just counting down the days

I'm just counting down the days

I'm just counting down the days
