Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It’s different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Take a breath
The writing’s on the wall
The temporary outcome
Your paper tigers fall
You made a mess
Okay, you shit the bed
But now you have to lie there
‘Cause it’s all in your head
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It’s different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Take a breath
Your heart won’t settle down
The disappearing options
‘Cause you can’t turn around
Phone a friend
You might have made that call
But you lost all your lifelines
There’s no one left at all
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It’s different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down)
Fall back down (fall back down)
Best thing about going up
You know that it’s gonna come back around
(Stand up) stand back up
(Stand back up) stand back up
Why you crying ’bout a glass half empty
When you know it was you that drank half the cup
Counting down is easy
It comes down to what are you prepared to do
The sound is teasing
It’s different at eight than when it gets to two
Just hold your breath and
Take one big step over the precipice and
Fall back down
Fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
Fall back down (fall back down) fall back down
