Counting 1, 2, 3
'Til this paradigm is over
You got so close to me

But I'm always getting older

I'm dying over here

I just need a breath of fresh air
I'd love to help you dear
But I'm pulling out my own hair


And I don't want to let you down
Or let you slip away

And I know it's easier said than done
But I'll do what it takes


And I can feel the end
But I don't want to believe it
So I just close my eyes

And don't listen to reason

Maybe it's already dead

And we dress it every morning
I've always been afraid
It would leave without a warning


But I don't want to let you down
Or let you slip away

And I know it's easier said than done
But I'll do what it takes


I want you to smile
Even when your world comes crashing down
I want you to smile at us and say

Even if we lost it all today
There's still a bar to raise
So it's not over yet


I want you to smile
Even when your world comes crashing down

I want you to smile at us and say
Even if we lost it all today
There's still a bar to raise

So I'll do what it takes
