Counting Down the Days / Liquid Love
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you last said that you love me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you love me
I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you love me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
You should have come over, should have come over
You should have come over, should have come over
You should have come over, should have come over
You should have come over, should have come over
I wait for you my love
I ache for you my love
Call this a liquid love
Rain down on me
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind
All I feel is silence now
Taking over, taking over, taking over
All I see is black clouds of doubt
Taking over, taking over, taking over
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind
All I feel is silence now
Taking over, taking over, taking over
I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you love me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you love me

The chorus of the song is a plea for the person to come back to them, with the lines "You should have come over, should have come over." The repetition of this line also emphasizes the urgency of this person's desire to be with their partner. The subsequent lines, "I wait for you my love, I ache for you my love" and "Call this a liquid love, rain down on me" further expresses the depth of their longing for love and connection.
Overall, the lyrics of "Counting Down the Days" touch upon the universal theme of the pain of love and loss, but with a hopeful plea for reconciliation and resuming of love.
