When Seconds Count

Can't remember just how it ended

I'm hazy as to how it began

Crazy how our lives got so tangled

Now we're simply silent partners again

Secretly walking a tightrope

Come fall into the arms of the past

'Cause it's still the same me

Still the same you

Who swore those promises would still ring true

So when your heart cries out

In the middle of a sleepless night

And you're suddenly so lonely

When seconds count

Count on me count on me

Special moments taken for granted

Tenderness that found no reward

Funny how you speak of forever

Only to wind up restless and bored

Can sweethearts so suddenly strangers

Recapture in a moment the fire

Well it's still the same me

Still the same you

The same two children deep down it's true

So when your heart cries out

In the middle of a sleepless night

And you're lost and feeling lonely

When seconds count

Count on me count on me

When your dream dies hard

And you're stranded out on the boulevard

I'll be there in a heartbeat

When seconds count

Count on me count on me

I'm going back in time to how it used to be

Now it's a race with time till I change your mind

When your heart cries out

In the middle of a sleepless night

And you're lost and feeling lonely

When seconds count

Count on me count on me

When your dream dies hard

And you're stranded out on the boulevard

I'll be there in a heartbeat

When seconds count

Count on me you can always count on me
