[Intro: clock ticks, mellow bass] [Verse 1] You saw them twice I saw you once And suddenly the math begins Who got Saturday Who got Sunday Who got messages at ten? But affection isn’t payroll And attention isn’t proof Sometimes one hour holds more closeness Than a week beneath one roof [Chorus] PLEASE DON’T COUNT THE HOURS DON’T TURN LOVE INTO A SCORE You are not the minutes given You are something so much more Some weeks bend Some seasons change Some connections need more care Don’t mistake uneven time For uneven love that’s there [Bridge] Measure me by honesty By whether I return By whether I still know your fears And what makes your spirit burn [Final Chorus] PLEASE DON’T COUNT THE HOURS COUNT THE MOMENTS THAT ARE TRUE I don’t want a spreadsheet Standing between my heart and you [Outro] Time is uneven. Love doesn’t have to be.
