She doesn’t know how many petals
She’s pulled off
Saying he loves me
Or he loves me not
And he doesn’t know
How many rocks he’d skipped
Working up the courage
To capture that first kiss
But they know every time
They have fought
Over the “Yes you have”
And “No I’ve not”
He can count every teardrop
From the eyes
Of the girl he’s loved
For all his life
And she can count every time
That he’s walked out
Voice cracking from the pain
When he’s in doubt
~~~*Chorus*~~~
They can both count on each other
When it comes down to the wire
She would brave a hurricane
And he would walk through fire
If you mess with one of them
The other is close by
Like a shadow of protection
Defending every side
What goes on between them
They don’t share
They count on each other
What they count on is rare
~~*~~
She can’t count how many times
She’s hungered for his touch
He can’t count the "I Love You’s"
When they’ve whispered them so much
But they know every time they’ve disagreed
Over the should, or shouldn’t, matter to me
She can count every look of defeat
From the man who’s made her life complete
Yeah!
They can count every single time
They have made the other cry
Over what they deem as foolish pride
Every time
They vow to never let the other down..
They know what counts
They know what counts...
~~~*Chorus*~~~
They can both count on each other
When it comes down to the wire
She would brave a hurricane
And he would walk through fire
If you mess with one of them
The other is close by
Like a shadow of protection
Defending every side
What goes on between them
They don’t share
They count on each other
What they count on is rare
~~*~~
But it's what they count on...
