I find myself counting the hours, then counting the days
Counting the weeks and then counting the ways
I would do things better when I finally see you
I'd be so much better once this is through
Are we through?
'Cause the last time I saw you, you said you were tired
I tried to bargain, you were just uninspired
Maybe a few days of distance, then you'd be fine
And the next time I see you, things would fall back in line
But when will I see you?
When will I hold you?
This lasted longer than I thought it would
I'd turn back time if only I could
And I'd tell you how the stars that shine
Start to dim when your eyes meet mine
They're like nothing I've ever seen
Not even in my wildest dreams, no
And I'd hold your hand and not let go
And I'd tell you how I love you so
And if you'd let me, if you give me a chance
I'd smile and I'd ask you to dance
With my two left feet
Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Can we try again?
We started on the wrong foot but we could end it right
I still refuse to believe that you'd give up without a fight
We may have gone out of rhythm, but our music still plays
How did we go from counting measures to numbering our days?
We don't dance like we used to
And we've ran out of songs
I still don't understand a thing
So can you please tell me where we went wrong
Let me tell you how the stars that shine
Still do dim when your eyes meet mine
They're like nothing I've ever seen
Not even in my wildest dreams, no
Let me hold your hand before you go
Let me tell you how I still love you so
And I know you won't give me a chance
But I hope you remember our dance
With your two left feet
It could have been so sweet
I hope you try again
I hope you try again
Ooh
And if by then it isn't me
Then I still wish that you would be
Dancing to a different beat
With your two left feet
It could have been so sweet
I hope you learn to love again
