The Killers - Why Do I Keep Counting

There's a plane and I am flying

There's a mountain waiting for me

oh these years have been so trying


I don't know if I can use them

am I strong enough

to be the one

will I live to have some children


Help me get down,

I can make it,

Help me get down


If I only new the answer

I wouldn't be bothering you, father


Help me get down

I can make it help me get down [x2]


If I only knew the answer

and If all are days are numbered

than why do I keep counting


My sugar sweet is so attainable

this behaviour so unexplainable

the days just slip and slide

like they always did

The trouble is my head

won't let me forget


I took one last good look around

so many unusual sounds

I gotta get my feet on the ground


Help me get down

I can make

Help me get down

I can make it

If I only knew the answer

I wouldn't be bothering you, father

Help me get down

I can make

Help me get down

I can make it

If I only knew the answer

and if all are days are numbered


If I change my way of living

and If I pave my streets with good times

will the mountain keep on giving


and if all of our days are numbered

then why do I keep counting
