Counting Days
SM1LO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't breathe without you
My senses go astray
You know I can't sleep without you
And it's driving me insane
Give me one more chance to prove
I'm serious
To make it all okay
You know I can't breath without you
And I need you always
When you leave I'm counting days

Torn when you're pulling me down
But I'm feeling high
I'll love without it
But it seems I'm lost most of the time
You ask me how I've been
Then I start questioning
I don't want to think about you differently
You go out so often I can't picture you still missing me

I can't breathe without you
A couple minutes and I suffocate
I know who I want to be around you
When you leave I'm counting days
You could take all my time using my mind
You say I'll be fine staying Behind
I don't want to be without you
When you leave I'm counting days

Can't breathe without you

It takes too long
You'll notice when I'm gone
All the small things you do
Keeps me holding on

I can't breathe without you
A couple minutes and I suffocate
I know who I want to be around you
When you leave I'm counting days
You could take all my time using my mind
You say I'll be fine staying Behind
I don't want to be without you
When you leave I'm counting days

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to SM1LO's song "Counting Days" depict a person who is deeply in love with someone and feels helpless and lost without them. The repeated line "I can't breathe without you" conveys the intensity of their emotions, and how they feel suffocated when the other person is not around. The lyrics also suggest that the person is willing to do anything to prove how serious they are about the relationship and make things right. However, despite their efforts, they feel like they are losing the other person and are constantly counting the days until they come back.


The second verse of the song suggests that the person is torn between their love for the other person and the pain that comes with it. They acknowledge the fact that the other person is not always around and may be moving on, but they cannot help but continue to love them. The line "all the small things you do keeps me holding on" suggests that even the smallest gestures from the other person provide them with hope and keep them going.


Overall, the song is a heartfelt expression of love and the pain that comes with it. It is a relatable experience that many people can empathize with, and the chorus is especially catchy and memorable.
