Moonchild - Counting Lyrics

featuring: Gretchen Parlato, Chris Dave & Dayna Stephens


Seven, fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight
I’m right here, but my heart’s somewhere in outer space
Thirty-five, forty-two, forty-nine
This is the shit I do to keep you off my mind

Fireflies, dragonflies, butterflies flutter by
All up above and all up inside
Petal one, love me once
To love again, petal two
Daydreaming here, ’cause what else can I do?

Love’s got me sinking into the ground
Watching the seedlings grow
The weight of remembering won’t keep them down
So much I need to let go

But I’m holding on
To memories, ’cause I can’t hold on to you
Should be moving on
But I’m wrapped up without arms around you

Holding on
I know life goes on
Holding on and moving on
I’ll learn how to live and dream about you
Holding on
Oh, our hearts beat on
How can I move on?
In emptiness as big as all the love I have for you

Love’s got me sinking into the ground
Watching the seedlings grow
The weight of remembering won’t bring them down
So much I need to let go
