Why Do I Keep Counting?

There's a plane, and I am flying There's a mountain waiting for me Oh, these years have been so trying I don't know if I can use them Am I strong enough To be the one? Will I live to have some children? Help me get down I can make it Help me get down Help me get down I can make it Help me get down If I only knew the answer I wouldn't be bothering you Father Help me get down I can make it Help me get down Help me get down I can make it Help me get down If I only knew the answer And if all our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting? My sugar sweet Is so attainable This behavior so unexplainable The days just slip and slide Like they always did The trouble is my head Won't let me forget I took one last good look around So many unusual sounds I gotta get my feet on the ground Help me get down I can make it Help me get down I can make it Help me get down Help me get down I can make it Help me get down If I only knew the answer I wouldn't be bothering you Father Help me get down I can make Help me get down Help me get down I can make it Help me get down If I only knew the answer And if all our days are numbered I wouldn't be bothering you Would you help me get down? If I only knew the answer If I change my way of living And if I pave my streets with good times Will the mountain keep on giving? And if all of our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting? --- Why Do I Keep Counting? - The Killers
