Tina Dickow - Count to Ten lyrics

There are faces, there are
Smiles, so many teeth
Too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
Imma watching, Imma breathing, Imma pushing
Imma wishing that these walls would not be
Talking quite so loudly
I have burned down once before
I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a
Reason to stay standing
But sometimes it’s just too
Much, it's not enough, it's something else
It's so much bigger than my head
It'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

I'm gonna close my eyes and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

I have met so many people
We've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing
But it's changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers
Some were friends but all together were they
Merely passing strangers?
They'll control you with their silence
They'll control you with their words
And you'll control them with
Your body's coded signals in the wild
Entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into
Each other'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

I'm gonna close my eyes and count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

Sometimes the fastest way to get
There is to go slow
Yeah and sometimes if you wanna hold
On you have to let go

(One) I'm gonna close my eyes (two)
(three) And count to ten (four)
(five) I'm gonna close my eyes (six)
(seven) And when I open them again (eight)
(nine) Everything will make sense
To me then (ten)
