The Killers - Why Do I Keep Counting? with Lyrics

[calciferfiredmn]

What an anthem.

[aa428507]

i just listened to the full album and i have to say that is amazing, however not my kind of amazing but stills. i recognize amazingnes when i heard it.

[101SLASH101]

Hey! The ending is like the ending to Bowie's Life On Mars?

Such a good song and soo underrated just like the rest of this album. As if this has only 94, 571 veiws!!!

[AdamBC13]

This song is amazing. If I hadn't bought the album, I probably would have never heard it. I just wish the mainstream media would have given this song a chance.

[MissMustache007]

oh ya rape the replay!

[chazman26]

Favorite Killers song, just the build up ahhhh

[phils0880]

sing it flowers. damn. and the background voices ugh i love it.

[ToriandLexy]

[MrPanchichi]

the days of 5 are numbered and they keep counting

[lVIouse]

me gusta :3

[Halo7276]

a 5 no les gustan the killers

[tayhatespoky]

If all my days are numbered, then why do I keep counting?

[rjamlegend]

I love the Killers. Period they are kickass.

[bornmelee]

i say ther jst bad ass say best

[outloudproductions11]

This is my favourite song by the killers its a lost gem

[zoey2hip4496]

This song kinda makes me wanna cry.

[Vic0triaRAWR]

What an inspirational song...

[MrLinkyXD]

I love this song!

[kingsofcarnage]

I wonder how many people get what its about...

Think about the lines "And if all our days are numbered

Then why do I keep counting?"

Then go back to "Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down." That might make it a bit clearer. Quite a sad song, really.

[Iceman3524]

This song is wonderful!

[hoptop090]

great.

[cecilycsm]

I cried the first time I heard this song.... I never cry at anything.

[MelchorSlacker]

3 People are afraid of traveling in an airplane

[doublecrossstudios]

3 people are not strong enough and will never have any children

[theslipknotfan111]

brandon flowers is actually an amazing singer.. cant say that about many vocalists these days! and the killers just rock!

[elurl]

OMG!!! EPIC LYRICS MAKE ME HAPPY!!!

[Velcro108]

The Killers are easily the best thing to come out of the 21st Century thus far.

[sandres1988]

beautiful...Brandon writes from his soul...again...beautiful

[xTheKill3rsRulex]

what's wrong with with the people's top comments with messed up spelling and I don't quite understand what they said but..i think it means THE KILLERS ARE THE BEST AND ARE LEGENDS TO ME!!! Agreed? Agreed.

[MattaTatta92]

I see people have compared this band to The Beatles, I cannot add to that discussion since I haven't listened to much Beatles (should start listening to them honestly).

For me, this song reminds me of "More Than A Feeling" by Boston, another band I need to start listening to. The mood seems similar, and it has a similar epic feel.

[rosie100000000]

the killers are actually my fave band eva and this is my fave song i love it =D

[venusloveful]

tiene todo esta cancion, empieza bien slow y termina con toda llena de energia, i love it :)

[saintsandmortalssss]

This song is pure awesomeness.

[crosslice]

They're so different. This in my eyes is a GREAT thing though. There are soooo many bands that just stick to that stupid formula. These guys aren't them, and they ROCK because of it!

[fab462]

the ending is so badass

[msnrud]

i'd have to say this and smile like you mean it are my favorites by the killers

[NeonUnicornsxD]

This, and Sams Town are my absolute favorite Killers songs. <3

[manu30pa]

"tre trouble is my head.. won't let me forget" .... magic

[thesegirlshaveboobs]

FATHER!

[inpachi123]

They are my favorite band of this decade!

[Dunderhead36]

today is the worst day of my life. I accidentily deleted this album off of my ipod. Worst mistake ever I had to buy another off of itunes, cuz i was too stupid to have saved the old copy in my documents. The album wasn't much, but it totalled my remaining itunes money. Could've gotten something else if it wasn't for my clumsiness. Some good money spent on my carelessness. But then I remembered, in the end, why do i keep counting? it's worth each penny :)

[NJHater]

i feel swooned everytime i hear him sing.

[ebelf3]

3:12-end

[venusloveful]

then why do i keep counting ? (:

[missshazzy666]

i love,love lurve this track did have the album till some one pinched it!

[DeadxSound]

I'm falling in love with this song!

[nonsens8]

Will I live to have some children?

[mock15halo]

@nonsens8 NO :)

[nonsens8]

@mock15halo yay!

[inuyashasdog]

The main reason I love most of their songs is because I bought the cd and actually listened to every song on it.. otherwise I'd probably be one of those people who only know them for their most popular songs

[Dunderhead36]

one person didn't get down

[OrangeHat21]

@Dunderhead36 Nobody would help them! D:

[Dunderhead36]

@OrangeHat21 lol guess they didn't count

[OrangeHat21]

@Dunderhead36 We should be ashamed of ourselves :(

[Dunderhead36]

@OrangeHat21 if only we knew

[SorgFamily]

Le the flaming commence.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and this song definitely recalls them.

[keyboardqueen98]

this song is so wierd but...

ITS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!

[whowants2KN0W]

Flood no like

[GhostUK99]

Flood claims this.

[Facehead090]

underrated masterpeace.

[teetertoter3]

@Facehead090 Underrated work of the heavens

[ladkjad]

@jdblink18t2 AFI = thumbsdown

[ladkjad]

help me get down i can make it help me get down, love that part =D

[colin0189]

Put it in iPod format!!!!!

[chazman26]

my favourite Killers song, really wanted them to play it live when i saw them in Hyde Park. The end tracks on this album, last 4 or 5 really make the album.

[247nana]

The lyrics are beautiful.

x

[ForeneverSkye]

hahaha its called harmony

[andyman5556]

Just use the ladder =)

[ForeneverSkye]

this songs great and the killers are amazing!!!!! this song is kinda sad though if u listen to the lyrics.like the beginnig"theres a plane and i am flying theres a mountain waiting 4 me" its talking about crashing into a mountain on a plane. thers a lot of their lyrics that u really have 2 think about their meanings

[pinballwizard8394]

and "help me get down" goes along with that too, because its like getting off the mountain after you crashed :D

[pinballwizard8394]

Oh hey this is where you found me!! :P I didn't even realize that!! this is still one of my favorites on this album, besides this river is wild and when you were young :)))

[kaylafreakinrox]

@ForeneverSkye this is seriously the most obvious lyric interpretation I've ever read. In case you can't interpret my insult, I am calling you a dumbass.

I do agree that the killers are amazing, though. At least you have good taste going for you, analytically...not so much.

[ForeneverSkye]

haha wow rnt u nice? and when i said " thers a lot of their lyrics that u really have 2 think about their meanings " i wasnt talking about that part, i was talking abouth other songs, the only reason i said the plane thing is because i was saying this song was sadd

[kaylafreakinrox]

@ForeneverSkye Oh, sorry. I didn't realize you had such a poor command of the english language. My suggestion: Next time you attempt to make a point, state it clearly.

[ForeneverSkye]

oh srry. i didnt realize you were such a bitch. my suggestion: fuck off.

[pinballwizard8394]

@ForeneverSkye Way to go!! Haha what an ass, so judgemental....and even worse, a hypocrite

[kaylafreakinrox]

@ForeneverSkye hahahaha it's hysterical how easily you can piss people off on here. calm the fuck down dude! you have the troops rallied behind you and everything.

why do people have to freak out? i'm just trying to give people shit and see what they can come back with. don't take life so seriously...

[pinballwizard8394]

@kaylafreakinrox Wow what an ass you are...looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the dump. Who are you to insult someone for interpruting lyrics? and also call them a dumbass for it? damn

[TroubledParty]

i disagree I think its about his irrational phobia of planes. It talks about When we get scared for whatever reason we plead for God saying we will be better people and do better things in hopes that everything will be OK.

[camash879]

gotta agree with the killers are the beatles of our time. they remind me of queen too!!

the killes are huge but only for the popular songs like somebody told me and mr brightside and human!

u am suprised there nto as popular tho cos pretty muche very song on all there albums are amazing! i love the way the music is done and the way brandon sings and his lyrics! Well done the killers

[pinballwizard8394]

i agree... i actually think that some of their b-sides are better than the singles and such. like sweet talk, that is one of my very favorite killers songs that no one really talks about. but its great

[MissJedi]

I love sweet talk! Amazing song. I think Brandon and Ronnie said it was their favorite song (of their own) at one point.

[ForeneverSkye]

omg i love that song its definatly one of my favorite!!

[xllSupermanllx]

@camash879 what the hell happened to your grammar in that last section??? "I am surprised they're not as popular though, because pretty much every song their albums are amazing! I love the way the music is done, and the way Brandon sings, and his lyrics! Well done, The Killers.* much better.

[Dunderhead36]

@xllSupermanllx lol dats barely any better "I am surprised they're not as popular though, because pretty much every song off their albums i amazing! I love the way the music is done, especially Brandon's singing and lyrics (fixed because it was a run-on before). Well done, The Killers!" * that's an edit

[xllSupermanllx]

@Dunderhead36 In my defense, it was 4 in the morning when I wrote that, but thank you for editing it.

[camash879]

@xllSupermanllx HAHA Holy fuck. I just read all of this. Yeah grammar really did go out the window there didn't it! Must of been a 4am post for me as well!!

Either way the Killers are so magical! I love them!

[edseiya]

@camash879

god i thought the same the first time i heard this song... it have this Queen feeling, loved it

[noble381297]

@camash879 damn straight!!!!!

[Periwinkleton]

@camash879

Nice spelling :D

[Jurassicparkz08]

@camash879 You forgot When You Were Young as one of the popular songs, everyone knows that one lol

[allFERfruitloops]

@camash879 my brother and i were just saying there isn't a song on any of their albums that we don't like :) even Flamingo was awesome

[xROKKstarr]

[2prologue]

i really thought the killers were famous lol, but most people i know when i ask them abotu the killer say 'yea i listened to somebody told me' lol that not the best song to represent the killers

[la922467]

thats a shame cuz the killers are a great band and have alot of great songs. i think most of the songs on sams town are under rated.
