Counting Down the Dark

Verse 1

Lights off at ten

Staring at the ceiling like it's holding secrets

Got my phone on the dresser

Not even close enough to reach it

Another day done

Another chapter that I probably won't reread

Head on the pillow

Thoughts spinning circles in my head

Pre-Chorus

One more hour

One more minute

One more second

'Til the quiet wins

Chorus

Close your eyes now

Let the world go quiet

Counting down the hours

Till the morning light hits

Close your eyes now

Let it all dissolve

Nothing left to figure out

Nothing left at all

Verse 2

Used to fight the night

Used to treat the dark like an enemy

Now I'm talking to the shadows

Like they're old friends next to me

Yesterday's mistakes

They keep tapping on my window pane

But I already paid that rent

Don't need to let them in again

Pre-Chorus

One more breath

One more blink

One more minute

'Til the quiet wins

Chorus

Close your eyes now

Let the world go quiet

Counting down the hours

Till the morning light hits

Close your eyes now

Let it all dissolve

Nothing left to figure out

Nothing left at all

Bridge

Moonlight on the hardwood floor

Making pictures out of nothing

Maybe peace was never loud

Maybe it was always something

Slow and quiet

Soft and steady

This is all I ever needed

This is all I ever needed

Verse 3

Blankets pulled up to my chin

Like armor made of cotton

Every thought that's keeping score

Tell 'em all they've been forgotten

Check the clock one more time

Hands don't care how late it's getting

Let the day just slip away

Tomorrow's got its own beginning

Pre-Chorus

Let it fade

Let it fall

Let it soften

'Til the quiet wins

Chorus

Close your eyes now

Let the world go quiet

Counting down the hours

Till the morning light hits

Close your eyes now

Let it all dissolve

Nothing left to figure out

Nothing left at all

Outro

Nothing left at all

Nothing left at all

Just the breathing

Just the falling

Into nothing

Into everything

Goodnight

Goodnight

Mm

Mm-hmm
