Lyrics
Look at the sunrise I look at it burn I look into your eyes Don't know where to turn I'm gonna drift into that void I'm flying through space, I'm an asteroid Time doesn't take place when you're paranoid I'm thinking about you, and nothing else Thinking about you, you're thinking about me Thinking about you, I'm counting the beat
Thinking about you Thinking about me Thinking about just you and me, la da de de, there ain't no place I'd rather be
La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm bleeding to death On a cloudless day A three, a four heartbeat A waltzin' away... Oooh ooh, oo oo Oooh ooh, oo oo Oooh ooh, oo oo Oooh ooh, oo oo I'm counting the beat 2 3 4 5, I'm feeling the heat to be alive I'm counting the beat 6 7 8 9, I'm wishing that you, That you were mine Thinking about you, you're thinking about me Thinking about you and counting the beat Thinking about you Thinking about me Thinking about you... Thinking about me... Thinking about you..... Thinking about, Just you and me, la da de de, there ain't no place I'd rather be La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da (repeat)
