Lyrics
String and loose pearls, there at your feet
Jigsaw world, puzzle incomplete
A missing piece, something to do
Are you counting on me
to count on you?
Familiar face, classic sad clown
Out of place, the circus left town
Nobody here can see what you see
I?m counting on you
to count on me
To blur the line dividing ?yours? and ?mine?
finding hours in between
Tip-toe confiding, no longer hiding
who?s residing in each other?s dreams
Fragments of bliss, born out of pain
Shelter in a kiss, under torrid rain
Where tragedy meets comedy
I?m counting on you
to count on me
Where it takes two to follow through
are you counting on me
?..to count on you?
