Counting Stones
One for who you want
Loving someone for who you want them to be
Walking out late and skipping stones
Years past outweigh what's left to show
Create the character inside of your mind
Cast the part to the play that is life
But I've heard it before
But I can't help saying it once more
Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want them to be
Dear Saint Anthony: Please come around
For I am lost and cannot be found
Hold on to hope, that was the plan
But here, here I stand
But I've heard it before
But I can't help saying it once more
Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want them to be
And they're not who you see
And they're not what you dreamed
So you paint your own truth to cover your eyes
Saying 'I love you' when it should have been 'goodbye'
Well it shows
People are counting stones
Feet don't even touch solid ground
Loving someone for who you want
Loving someone for who you want
Loving someone for who you want them to be
