count to ten

Tina Dico

There are faces, there are smiles, so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
Iââ?¬â?¢m a-watching, Iââ?¬â?¢m a-breathing, Iââ?¬â?¢m a-pushing, Iââ?¬â?¢m a wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly
I have lost it once before Iââ?¬â?¢ve pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes itââ?¬â?¢s just too much or not enough or something else
Itââ?¬â?¢s so much bigger than my head, itââ?¬â?¢s too demanding

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go

Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

I have met so many people, weââ?¬â?¢ve exchanged so many words
Weââ?¬â?¢ve said it all and weââ?¬â?¢ve said nothing but itââ?¬â?¢s changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely passing strangers?
Theyââ?¬â?¢ll control you with their silence, theyââ?¬â?¢ll control you with their words
And youââ?¬â?¢ll control them with your bodyââ?¬â?¢s coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into eachotherââ?¬â?¢s hidden pitfalls

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go

Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
