WHAT COUNTS


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...
