Counting Every Minute (Extended 2)

Verse 1

Streetlights flicker back to memories I chase

Watching every shadow hoping for your face

Empty conversations haunt this quiet place

Time is slow and heavy, but I won’t erase

Pre-Chorus

Every hour lingers with your name

Walls remember when it wasn’t pain

If you cross that line, I’ll be right here

Waiting out the silence, holding fear

Chorus

I will always wait where the shadows fall

Counting every minute, I relive it all

Silent in the chaos, I still hear your call

I will always wait, though you may never know

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, I will always wait

Oh oh, I will always wait

Verse 2

Late nights, stained glass, memories locked inside

Traces of your old smile flicker, then they hide

Promise left for morning, faded in your eyes

Still I'm holding on, believing one more lie

Pre-Chorus

Tired hearts don’t break, they only bruise

Hope holding on when it’s bound to lose

If you turn around, I’ll be right here

Hiding all the words you never hear

Chorus

I will always wait where the shadows fall

Counting every minute, I relive it all

Silent in the chaos, I still hear your call

I will always wait, though you may never know

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, I will always wait

Oh oh, I will always wait

Bridge

Drifting through the hours where your shadow should be

Rewinding all my reasons why I never leave

Staring at the doorway, footprints in the rain

Every word I should have spoken calls your name

Chorus

I will always wait where the shadows fall

Counting every minute, I relive it all

Silent in the chaos, I still hear your call

I will always wait, though you may never know

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, I will always wait

Oh oh, I will always wait
