Everything has a reason
Everything has a start
Anything that ever burned had a spark
Oh
Anything I ever wanted
Anyone I never needed
Always seemed to leave me standing in the dark

Shutting me out
Caught in your light
Open the door
You stepped inside
And I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Finding I'm missing every beat of your heart
Till you're back in my arms
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Oh, counting the stars

Nothing could ever touch us
Nothing gonna shake my faith
Nothing in this big bad world ever take you away
Like a rolling hurricane
Nothing's standing in our way
Full of life
Full of grace
In a perfect place

Shutting me out
Caught in your light
Open the door
You step inside
and I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Finding I'm missing every beat of your heart
Till you're back in my arms
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Oh, counting the stars
Oh

Like a rolling hurricane
Nothing's standing in our way
Full of life
Full of grace
In the perfect place

Shutting me out
Caught in your light
Open the door
You're steppin inside
And I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Finding I'm missing every beat of your heart
Till you're back in my arms
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Oh, counting the stars
Oh, counting the stars
Right here waiting till you're back in my arms
And I'll be waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting up
Counting the stars
Oh oh oh
