Make Do And Mend - Count [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Scratch your days in the wall
Count your nights like the friends that never call
Peel the skin from your fingers 'til there's nothing at all
You can tell by this mess that this is something you never through you'd miss
Is it breaking you down or just breaking your fall?

Oh-oh it's too early to call
Whoo-oh-oh it's too early to call
Cause I'm going blind from staring at my feet
You don't be alarmed when you can't find the company I keep

Keep you ear to ground, ignore the sound of it only getting worse
And crack a smile if it won't crack you first
Dead-end year spent waiting for a break you don't deserve

Cause I'm going blind from staring at my feet

You don't be alarmed when you can't find the company I keep

Cause I don't mind these fingernails stuck between my teeth
I'll cross my fingers and pray that they don't break
I'll pray that I don't one day point them towards the mirror-glass
And wonder who I see staring back at me!

One day
Who I am
And what I lack
Won't be the same thing
Won't be the same thing
Won't be the same thing

Cause I'm going blind from staring at my feet
You don't be alarmed when you can't find the company I keep
Cause I don't mind these fingernails stuck between my teeth
I'll cross my fingers and pray that they don't break
I'll pray that I don't!
