Instead lyrics

Are you counting those things again In hope that they get you in Pretending the wind is a breeze And letting your body freeze And if you ask yourself you could stop these wayward pleas So get up off of your knees No matter what your father said or the books you read Maybe you should save yourself instead We jumped at the count of nine But you still needed more time You jumped at the count of eighteen And let out a joyful scream And said now I can see But now you're just playing dead As you pray to be led But maybe you should save yourself instead
