A song that conveys a sense of exhaustion and weariness, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery that depicts a city that is tired and rundown, and the chorus emphasizes the need to hold on and keep counting, despite feeling exhausted.
Counting Spooks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know it's gonna hurt
Sore feet dragged through the dirt
Hit me right here
The lazy way we love
Good times we're dreaming of
Hit me right here
[Chorus]
It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks together
I'm just so tired of numbers
[Verse 2]
Night vision on
Get the missionaries home
Hit me right here
You know where I start
And you know where I end
Hit me right here
[Chorus]
It's getting late
The skyline's a state
This city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks forever
I'm just so tired of numbers
Though it's getting late
The skyline's a state
And this city's tired like we are
We're holding it together
Counting spooks together
I'm just so tired of numbers
[Coda]
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding, holding, holding
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding it together
Holding, holding, holding

What did Editors say about "Counting Spooks"?

There are essentially two songs in one: the first being full of reall...
