So, let's play in the distance
Like the wonder streches between us
Separating hands and hearts
That were meant to hold each other
And let's play my songs
We're are the reason for this awkward conversations
That we never ever thought we'd have to have
And it's not you it's me
And honestly I'm just tired of trying so hard
And never really getting anywhere at all
So, I'm counting the stars tonight
I've never seen them shine so bright
And I'm counting the stars
'Cause I wanna know how far you are
And I know it's hard to seem to forget I've been here all along
And though I may not cry you should know I'm trying hard not to
Maybe, maybe next time you'll do better
But this time is the one that counts
And we both messed it up for each other
So, I'm counting the stars tonight
I've never seen them shine so bright
And I'm counting the stars
'Cause I wanna know how far you are
Maybe next time find someone new
Who will hold your hand while you go up and cross the road
And just show yourself who you need to be
So, I'm counting the stars tonight
I've never seen them shine so bright
And I'm counting the stars
'Cause I wanna know how far you are
Mmmm
