Hey,
I wanna crawl out of my skin
Apologize for all my sins
All the things I should have said to you

Hey,
I can't make it go away
Over and over in my brain again
All the things I should have said to you

[Chorus]
Counting stars wishing I was okay
Crashing down was my biggest mistake
I never ever meant to hurt you
I only did what I had to
Counting stars again

Hey,
I'll take this day by day by day
Under the covers I'm okay I guess
Life's too short and I feel small

[Chorus]

Counting stars again
Counting stars again
Counting stars again
Counting stars again
Counting stars again

    Best song on the album, hands down. It's beautiful. And intelligent.

    A relationship that's ending and the singer wishes he go back and apologize and make everything better. He's afraid of the world; "Under the covers I'm okay, I guess," and all he can do is count the stars to take his mind off her.

    At least, that's what I get on the three listens I've had.
