Countdown

Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start
It started slowly, and I thought it was my heart
But then I realised, this time it was for real
There was no place to hide, I had to go out and feel
But there was time to kill, I walked my way around town
I tried to love the world, but the world just got me down
Oh so I looked for you in every street of every town
I wanted to see your face, I wanna, I wanna see you now
Yeah I wanna see you now

Oh and so it went, so it went for several years
I couldn't stand it, oh, it must be getting near
Oh no you just don't know, no you just don't understand
How many times I've seen you in the arms of some other man
I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand
My God, my God, you've got to understand that I was seventeen
I didn't know a thing at all
I've got no reason, no reason at all oh no

Time of my life, I think you came too soon
You came too soon baby
And it could be tonight, if I ever leave this room
I never leave this room
Oh, oh, oh, I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down
Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
So, I'm gonna gonna go, really, bye bye

Yeah you can leave me, you can go some other place
You can forget it, well that's ok
Because I own this town, I brought it to its knees
Can you hear it crying yeah?
Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
I know it's coming so soon now, it's on it's way
Oh no my God, my God, I can hear them say
They say it's all a lie, they say I'll never leave the ground
They say I can't survive, and it's coming down
Oh baby now please

Time of my life, I think you came too soon
Yeah you came too soon baby
And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room
I never leave this room
Oh, oh, oh, wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down, ah
Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
So I'm gonna go yeah really bye bye

OK, you don't have to care
Really really I swear
You're nothing, you're nothing to me
And if I messed it up babe then, then that's all up to me
And if you go, then I won't follow no
Cause so many times I've been thinking, I've been thinking maybe I should
No, I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna make my way
I'm gonna get on through, babe
I'm gonna make it home some day

Oh, baby now time of my life, I think you came too soon
Yeah you came too soon baby
And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room
I never ever leave this room
Oh, oh, oh wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down
Get down ah
Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
And I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now
Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
Yeah I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now
Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town
And this time, this time, I'm gonna go

I'm gonna leave this time
Am I gonna hang around no
Sky and fire and moon and fire never, ever, land
Uh uh oh! Uh oh!
Me and stars and the Moon are falling down
