Counting Stars
Longing for Rescuing Arms
Lyrics
Done counting stars to fall asleep
Expressing completion of counting stars as a sleep aid.
Safe in your arms you are what comforts me
Finding comfort and safety in the arms of a significant other.
I've been calling your name but I know you don't hear me
Attempt to communicate, feeling unheard.
Void in my heart since the day you meant missing
Emotional void due to someone's absence.
Oh/God I need you here right now
Expressing a need for God's presence in a difficult moment.
I'm lost on my own
Feeling lost and alone.
I should have been there when you started falling
Regret for not being supportive during a difficult time.
Hating myself cus the thoughts of you haunt me
Suffering from haunting thoughts and self-hatred.
Oh God please take this anger away
Plea to God for relief from overwhelming anger.
I'm defeated today
Feeling defeated and overwhelmed.
I'm tossing and I'm turning
Restlessness and inner turmoil.
Still awake from the pain of yesterday
Insomnia caused by the pain of the past.
Still has me tossing and turning
Continued restlessness due to lingering pain.
If I could just see you again
Desire to reunite with a lost loved one.
I'm done counting stars to fall asleep
Reiteration of completing the ritual of counting stars for sleep.
Safe in your arms you are what comforts me
Seeking comfort and solace in the embrace of a loved one.
cnd Just like my heart you're always in my dreams
Comparing the constant presence of the loved one to a dream.
If I drift too far promise you'll rescue me
Request for reassurance that the loved one will always be there.
What if I promise to leave myself nothing
Contemplating self-sacrifice for a greater purpose.
Give up my life so that theirs will mean something
Expressing a desire to make others' lives meaningful.
Oh God If only I'd taken their place
Regret for not having taken someone else's place in a difficult situation.
This has to be wrong
Confusion and doubt about the current situation.
Lost in a fog that seems so dark and empty
Feeling lost and overwhelmed in a dark and empty state.
Joy becomes pain that leaves me feeling nothing
Transformation of joy into pain, leading to emotional numbness.
Oh God give me a reason to
Plea for a reason to continue and hold on.
Hold on I'm fading away
Sensation of fading away and losing grip on life.
I'm done counting stars to fall asleep
Repetition of completing the act of counting stars for sleep.
Safe in your arms you are what comforts me
Finding solace and comfort in the protective embrace of a loved one.
cnd Just like my heart you're always in my dreams
Comparing the loved one's presence to a constant presence in dreams.
If I drift too far promise you'll rescue me
Seeking assurance of rescue if drifting too far away.
Doubted myself for too long and felt like giving up
Long-standing self-doubt and the urge to give up.
Time to prove to myself I'm wrong
Determination to prove oneself wrong and overcome challenges.
You're already gone
Realization of a loss that has already occurred.
I'm done counting stars to fall asleep
Repetition of the act of counting stars for sleep.
Safe in your arms you are what comforts me
Finding comfort and solace in the arms of a loved one.
cnd Just like my heart you're always in my dreams
Comparing the loved one's constant presence to a dream.
If I drift too far promise you'll rescue me
Request for rescue if drifting too far away from the loved one.
