Cut Copy - Counting Down Lyrics






Tell you all my fears
Losing loves and fading years
But I'm still sitting on my tears
They wouldn't go to waste

No matter what you do to turn it down
Know that I want you too to have the sound
All your clocks are slowly counting down
Love will save, love will save us

Watch the world outside
Your memories fade and people die
But I kept dreams alive

No matter what you do to turn it down
Know that I want you too to have the sound
All your clocks are slowly counting down
Love will save us, love will save us

Darkness, night time
Darkness, be mine
Darkness, night time
Darkness, be mine

Under the mountains, worried times
Spent ten years there underground to find
What sparkles in the light

Hotel rooms and taxi cabs
Forgotten memories all we have had
Let me die tonight

Below the stars, you never know
Never know that we're all right
Desperate time, around our telescopes
Beaming me back some light

Don't forget me when I'm gone
Cause all my diamonds will be shining on

Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight

Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight
Don't let me die tonight

Don't let me die tonight

  1. D.... J....

    Heard this in Jamba Juice. 😳🔥🔥🙃

  2. Z.... S....

    the last minute of this track is sick

  3. n.... ....

    0:44 kinda sounds like whenever wherever by Shakira

  4. B.... G....

    playing this on the next road trip

  5. C.... M....

    LOVE YOUR STUFF!!!! Brilliant!! I feel GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. F.... J....

    best song

  7. S.... M....

    YES. Great song. Interesting structure. For me the seriously hooky parts are the initial 2 cycles of verse and chorus. And that damn catchy guit riff. Now the 2nd good song from these blokes for me. Yes, as always, millions of hours of great music lives in relative obscurity compared to the "big names".

  8. M.... C....

    It just amazes that this band isn’t getting more recognized. It’s crazy. Their marketing team needs to do better. Damn amazing. Great Job #cutcopy

  9. N.... S....

    Does anyone know what the synth lyric line is before the "don't let me die tonight" lines towards the end? It sure sounds like some words but I can't find it anywhere.

    N.... S....

    "There's no going back"

  10. J.... P....

    we need you here in porto.portugal ******hehehe again

  11. A.... v....

    The contrast of the various parts is probably the best thing about this song. :D

    Also, for some reason, I associate Doctor Strange comics with this song. XD

  12. n.... ....

    Amazingness

  13. F.... ....

    0:43 summer riff

  14. B.... M....

    Today I heard this in an H and M and I couldn't help but sing along (loud)... I had a couple of curious looks but I didn't care, this song is soo catchy and amazing

    B.... M....

    I heard this in victorias secret yesterday and saved the lyrics

    B.... M....

    Barbara Müller heard at forever 21 🙃

  15. D.... V....

    wow this album kicks ass! every song so far has been stellar!!!

  16. L.... B....

    Fan from the beginning... from you guys I understood the need to buy the LP from a band you love, thank you for transmitting that passion for music to me

  17. R.... C....

    Tell you all my fears
    Losing laws and fading years
    But I'm still sitting on my tears
    They won't go to waste

    Know that I want you two to turn it down
    Know that I want you two to pop a sound
    And all your clocks are slowly counting down
    Love will save us, love will save us

    Watch the world outside
    Your memories fade and people die
    But I kept dreams alive
    Know that I want you two to turn it down
    Know that I want you two to pop a sound
    All your clocks are slowly counting down Love will save us, love will save us Darkness, night time
    Darkness, be mine
    Darkness, night time
    Darkness, be mine

    Under the mountains, were a town
    Spent ten years there underground
    To find, what sparkles in the light
    Ba ba-na, ba ba na
    Hotel rooms and taxi cabs
    Forgotten memories all we have, ah-ah
    Don't let me die tonight
    Ba ba-na, ba ba na

    Know the stars
    Will never know, never know that we're alright
    Unless we turn
    On our telescopes, beaming them back sunlight
    Don't forget me, when I'm gone 'Cause all of my diamonds'll be shining, oh

    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight

    R.... C....

    I think this is the correct version of the lyrics.

    Tell you all my fears
    Losing loves and fading years
    But I'm still sitting on my tears
    They won't go to waste

    No matter what you do to turn it down
    No matter what you do to hide the sound
    All your clocks are slowly counting down
    Love will save us, love will save us

    Watch the world outside
    Your memories fade and people die
    But I kept dreams alive
    No matter what you do to turn it down
    No matter what you do to hide the sound
    All your clocks are slowly counting down
    Love will save us, love will save us
    Darkness, night time
    Diamonds, be mine
    Darkness, night time
    Diamonds, be mine

    Under the mountains, were a town
    Spent ten years there underground
    To find, what sparkles in the light
    Ba ba-na, ba ba na
    Hotel rooms and taxi cabs
    Forgotten memories all we have, ah-ah
    Don't let me die tonight
    Ba ba-na, ba ba na

    Know the stars
    Will never know, never know that we're alright
    Unless we turn
    On our telescopes, beaming them back sunlight
    Don't forget me, when I'm gone 'Cause all of my diamonds'll be shining, oh

    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
    Don't let me die tonight
