Count to Ten

[Chorus]
Time, it will equalize
But not before it knocks you down and scrapes your knees
And you bleed in the dirt and gloom
Or alone feeling sorry in an all-black room

[Verse 1]
And maybe you spend the next four years
Starting things and quitting them
Trying to make some sense of it
Like all of a sudden the clouds will part
And the sky will be bluer than the sun is bright

[Chorus]
Time, it will equalize
But not before we lose our minds
Long enough to make mistakes
Fall apart, love and hate

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe something happened and it’s too much to bear
And it’s hard to make believe you’re not gasping for air
When all you’ve got to do is breathe and count to ten

[Chorus]
Time, it will equalize
But not before we lose our minds
Long enough to make mistakes
Fall apart, love and hate

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe something happened and it’s too much to bear
And it’s hard to make believe you’re not gasping for air
When all you’ve got to do is breathe and count to ten

The problem is it’s probably just in your head
But you don’t have to know what I mean

[Chorus]
Time, it will equalize
But not before it knocks you down and scrapes your knees
You will bleed in the dirt and gloom
And spend the next four years trying to count to ten
