COUNTING CROWS LYRICS - You Can't Count On Me

"You Can't Count On Me"



Anything's hard to change

But hey I got you down on your knees again

You watch the sky

It's a pale parade of passing clouds

That cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark

And the memories that I made of a laughing girl

But you're just my toy and I can't stop playing with you baby



If you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's just one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me



I'm coming along real good

But I still can't do most of the things I should

I watch the sky coming down to bury me...

And I can't stop this crawling out of my skin

I know that you see yourself flying in out of the sky

Coming down to carry me but I won't come out



So if you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's one thing you need to know

And that's that you can't count on me



I watch all of the same parades

As they pass on the days that you wish you'd stayed

But all this pain gets me high

And I get off and you know why



So if you think you need to go

If you wanted to be free

There's just one thing you'll need to know

And that's that you can't count on me
