This guy moved away because he was restless but now regrets leaving his girl behind.

Lyrics

COUNTING THE MINUTES

Standing at the station on the day that I left you
Heading off to find the place that all my dreams went to
Counting off the minutes I just couldn't wait to be
On that train to anywhere but where the pain and heartbreak haunted me

Leaving you was easy I had all my reasons clear
I couldn't wait around to see my future disappear
Time was killing all the dreams I had when I was young
And so I said goodbye to you and headed off to make it on my own

But now I find those dreams I had have disappeared from view
And every night I dream instead of things we used to do
Wishing I was somewhere else with something else to do
Counting all the minutes without you

INSTRUMENTAL

But now I find those dreams I had have disappeared from view
And every night I dream instead of things we used to do
Wishing I was somewhere else with something else to do
Counting all the minutes without you

Now the nights are empty and I find myself alone
I lie awake and fill my head with memories of home
I just can't remember all the dreams I had before
The things I wanted lie like empty bottles scattered on the floor

But now I find those dreams I had have disappeared from view
And every night I dream instead of things we used to do
Wishing I was somewhere else with something else to do
Counting all the minutes without you
Counting all the minutes without you
Wishing I was on that train to you
