Counting The Days
Dion Roy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up to your name whispered like a secret
In the dark, in my veins, you're the drug I needed
If I could have one wish, if I could just hold on to this
Like a dream that starts to fade away, away, away

I'm counting the days until your mine until the stars fall out of the sky
I'm not letting go of any hope that I could ever change your mind
Until the walls in your heart break
Break, I'm counting the days

It was on a night like this we were holding our breath
But in time the damages were too much to forget
Just give yourself one chance, we can start over again
So I'll wait until then

I'm counting the days until you're mine
Until the stars fall out of the sky
I'm not letting go of any hope that I could ever change your mind
Until the walls in your heart break
I'm counting the days

You know we've come so close
I don't care if you're broken at all
I'm not letting this go

I woke up to your name whispered like a secret

I'm counting the days until you're mine
Until the stars fall out of the sky




I'm not letting go of any hope that I could ever change your mind
Until the walls in your heart break I'm counting the days, ohhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dion Roy's song "Counting the Days" speaks to a person who is desperately in love but unsure of where they stand with the person they love. The song starts with the singer waking up to the name of the person they love whispered like a secret. This shows the depth of emotion that the singer feels for this person and how important they are to them. The mention of the person being like a drug that the singer needed suggests that they are addicted to them and cannot be without them.


The singer then goes on to talk about how much they want to be with this person and that they are counting the days until they are finally together. They mention how they will not let go of any hope that they could change the person's mind about them. The walls in the person's heart mentioned in the song are probably a metaphor for the barriers that the person has put up to protect themselves from getting hurt. The singer is aware of this but is still hopeful that they can break down those walls and be with the person they love.


The song ends with the singer reassuring the person that they are not going to let go of them, no matter how broken they may be. They are committed to waiting for the person and starting over with them because of the love that they feel. The overall message of the song is one of unrequited love and the hope that things will eventually work out for the singer and the person they love.
