Keeping Count - Wind In Sails
There's a demon at my door
And he's keeping count of all my past mistakes
Disguised
As someone that I know
Waiting patiently like there's no one left to take
And if it's all the same
I wonder why it is he came
Why do I feel like walking over my own grave
Have a lead an honest life
Can I work my hands raw enough
To show how hard I've tried
What if we all end up alone
Hoping there's something more that we have not been told
Our two ends meet at the fold
And time
It passes with the pages
Quoting every line won't slow it's curse on us
So live
Like you were meant to make it
Hold your head up high and never doubt yourself
'Cause if it's all we have
Let's hope we make the best of it
And never regret the mistakes we've made 'cause we learn from them
Have I lead an honest life
Can I work my hands raw enough
To show how hard I've tried
What if we all make peace with this
I'm hoping the lives we lead make all the pieces fit
And we'll be okay with it
I can only lay there
For so long
Before my body gives up
Can my last conscious thought be
You in door way
That night when we were innocent and young
