Counting Houses

You're counting houses to see, which one holds onto me
When you reach the fifth one on the street
Are you glad that you signed the lease?
I think it all escaped
Every second we saved so I put the last 1 in my pillow case
And went to sleep to keep it safe

I called to explain
But you pick up the phone and gently ease the pain

You tell me its alright and its ok
We all get tired sometime in the day
Theres no-one here and nothing to blame
I'll hold you while you're asleep anyway
And the best part is I'll see you when we wake

So if the markets change, you find a cheaper place
Can I come as a second of a sunny day
That polarised a square to look like my face
Then I will be discreet
Your sentimental retreat to a heart that always fondly beats
For a story line that's incomplete

I tied a little bow
Around the ring box that I left out of this note

To tell you its alright and its ok
We all get tired sometime in the day
Theres no-one here and nothing to blame
I'll hold you while you're asleep anyway
And the best part is I'll see you when we wake

Oh my god it seems to me I must be incomplete
I have not been eating well and its been that way for weeks
Could you increase my appetite, by talking to me 1 more time
A conversation just to keep me alive

But now you're moving out, there's no more houses to count
We live in two lonely hemispheres, when we talk it seems insincere

I called cause I'm up late
I'm too afraid to sleep cause I don't know how I'll wake

You tell me its alright and its ok
We all get tired sometime in the day
Theres no one here whose taking your place
Just know that someday that will change
But until then, I'll miss you every day
