[Verse 1] I'm counting cracks across the ceiling I'm counting every word I said I'm adding up the things I'm feeling And it doesn't add up in my head [Chorus] It's three a.m. arithmetic (Three a.m.) And nothing's coming out right I take away the hours left And find you here all night (All night) I can't sleep, I can't rest I can't put this down Every sum I try to solve Comes back round to you somehow [Verse 2] The clock is louder than it should be The street is quieter than it was I wonder if you're lying wakeful I wonder if you think of us [Guitar Solo – slow, bluesy, every slide audible] [Bridge] If you were here you'd tell me (Go to sleep) It'll all be clear by morning (Go to sleep) But you're not here, so I keep counting (Counting) Counting you instead of sheep [Final Chorus] [Outro – piano fades on one held note]
