Countdown

Lyrics

Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start It started slowly, and I thought it was my heart But then I realised, this time it was for real There was no place to hide, I had to go out and feel But there was time to kill, I walked my way around town I tried to love the world, but the world just got me down Oh so I looked for you in every street of every town I wanted to see your face, I wanna, I wanna see you now Yeah I wanna see you now Oh and so it went, so it went for several years I couldn't stand it, oh, it must be getting near Oh no you just don't know, no you just don't understand How many times I've seen you in the arms of some other man I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand My God, my God, you've got to understand that I was seventeen I didn't know a thing at all I've got no reason, no reason at all oh no Time of my life, I think you came too soon You came too soon baby And it could be tonight, if I ever leave this room I never leave this room Oh, oh, oh, I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So, I'm gonna gonna go, really, bye bye Yeah you can leave me, you can go some other place You can forget it, well that's ok Because I own this town, I brought it to its knees Can you hear it crying yeah? Can you hear it begging to me "Please?" I know it's coming so soon now, it's on it's way Oh no my God, my God, I can hear them say They say it's all a lie, they say I'll never leave the ground They say I can't survive, and it's coming down Oh baby now please Time of my life, I think you came too soon Yeah you came too soon baby And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room I never leave this room Oh, oh, oh, wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down, ah Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So I'm gonna go yeah really bye bye OK, you don't have to care Really really I swear You're nothing, you're nothing to me And if I messed it up babe then, then that's all up to me And if you go, then I won't follow no Cause so many times I've been thinking, I've been thinking maybe I should No, I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna make my way I'm gonna get on through, babe I'm gonna make it home some day Oh, baby now time of my life, I think you came too soon Yeah you came too soon baby And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room I never ever leave this room Oh, oh, oh wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down ah Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town And I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town Yeah I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town And this time, this time, I'm gonna go I'm gonna leave this time Am I gonna hang around no Sky and fire and moon and fire never, ever, land Uh uh oh!
