Counting Tears Not Heartbeats

Lyrics for the song ‘Counting Tears Not Heartbeats’ by Abu Sayed. Explore the story behind the music.

I am tracing the shadows across your bare skin
Wondering where the evening ends and we begin
The embers are glowing down deep in the grate
There is a pull in your eyes that I cannot escape
A couple of glasses left out on the wood
We are talking in whispers like two lovers should
Your fingertips draw a slow line on my chest
And suddenly I am forgetting the rest
The clock on the wall has stopped ticking somehow
There is nobody else in the universe now
I am leaning in close just to breathe in your air
And tasting the sweet surrender we share
For every sad tear that you cried in the past
I am giving you passion that is destined to last
We are tangled up tight in these warm, heavy sheets
I am counting those tears, not our racing heartbeats
I am kissing away every shadow of doubt
And showing you what true devotion is about
Your hands find my shoulders and pull me right down
In the quietest corner of this sleepy town
I am tracing the curve of your neck with my lips
I am feeling the tremble right down to your hips
The clock on the wall has stopped ticking somehow
There is nobody else in the universe now
I am leaning in close just to breathe in your air
And tasting the sweet surrender we share
For every sad tear that you cried in the past
I am giving you passion that is destined to last
We are tangled up tight in these warm, heavy sheets
I am counting those tears, not our racing heartbeats
I am kissing away every shadow of doubt
And showing you what true devotion is about
I am counting those tears, not our racing heartbeats
We have weathered the storms and the heavy gray rain
But tonight there is nothing but pleasure, no pain
Your body is a map that I am learning by heart
We are a masterpiece painted right here in the dark
And Sayed is going to hold you until the new dawn
Just close your eyes and let me pull you closer
There is nowhere else I would rather be
For every sad tear that you cried in the past
I am giving you passion that is destined to last
We are tangled up tight in these warm, heavy sheets
I am counting those tears, not our racing heartbeats
