Premiere
Counting in My Head — the absence too
No notes yet — be the first.
The song is on YouTube: watch the video.
A pop ballad at the till: counting coins instead of cigarettes, and a number that stops mattering. The refrain is ours: the shop is just a shop now.
The lyric
[verse]
At the till I count the coins and not the cigarettes
The line behind me doesn't know how much that is, and yet
my hand knows where they used to be, one shelf above the bread
I buy the milk, I pay, I nod, and nothing's in my head
[chorus]
Counting in my head — one day, two
The number isn't money, it's the absence of it too
I put the change away, I walk out through the door
The shop is just a shop now, nothing more
[verse]
It used to be a plan: if I buy this, then I can
Now it's bread and coffee, and I can
[bridge]
Nine, then ten, then twenty, then I stopped counting days
The number doesn't matter, and that's the thing that stays
[chorus]
Counting in my head — one day, two
The number isn't money, it's the absence of it too
I put the change away, I walk out through the door
The shop is just a shop now, nothing more
[outro]
The shop is just a shop
and I walk out through the door
