Counting Stones

One for who you want
Loving someone for who you want them to be

Walking out late and skipping stones
Years past outweigh what's left to show
Create the character inside of your mind
Cast the part to the play that is life

But I've heard it before
But I can't help saying it once more

Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want them to be

Dear Saint Anthony, please come around
For I am lost and cannot be found
Hold on to hope, that was the plan
But here, here I stand

But I've heard it before
But I can't help saying it once more

Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want them to be

And they're not who you see
And they're not what you dreamed
So you paint your own truth to cover your eyes
Saying I love you when it should have been goodbye

Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want
Loving someone for who you want
Loving someone for who you want them to be
