The Countdown

Sometimes I know that I should calm down
Strip off the crazy trips and stick around
Like my mother used to do
Like the others do
Like my brother does today
And his girlfriend too

My heart is itching for a countdown
I cannot rest before it comes around
While I wait
I'm racing
My heart rate keeps upgrading
And my feelings change so fast

Sometimes I break down
Sometimes I spin high
I'm just a girl
Who either flies
Or dies

When I was child I never slept tight
Endless distraction was to keep me up
My mother used to tell
What the others do
And my brother was so bright
And I should be too

So I found out about the countdown
Started getting ready
And never calmed down
