Count To Ten

There are faces, there are smiles
So many teeth, too many arms and legs and eyes
And flashing buttons all around me
I'm a-watching, I'm a-breathing, I'm a-pushing, I'm a-wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly

I have burned down once before, I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes it's just too much
It's not enough, it's something else
It's so much bigger than my head, it's too demanding

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on, you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

I have met so many people, we've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing, but it's changed us
I have known a lot of men
Some were lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely passing strangers

They'll control you with their silence, they'll control you with their words
And you'll control them with your body's coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into each other's hidden pitfalls

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on, you have to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

Count to ten (everything will make sense to me then)
Count to ten (everything will make sense to me then)
Count to ten (everything will make sense to me then)
Count to ten
