	Story Behind the Song When I (Christopher) wrote this song: I plugged in my Telecaster, turned on my trusty "Boss Metal Zone" stump box and locked myself away in my room for about a half hour. The result is "Count on Me". This is one of the songs I'm most proud of because I just wrote it and didn't look back - never changing the words from how they came out or worrying about the very basic chord progression. When it came time to recording & producing it; we wanted a straight forward in-your-face sound to go along with the "no-bones-a bout-it" lyrics. My favorite part of the entire song is David's part when we sing, "... To convince you that we'll never last". I still get chills when he sings that and holds the last note. It fit perfectly with the mood of the song. P.S. You Aerosmith fans out there might have noticed the slight "Love in an Elevator" spoof at the end... that was 100% intentional. Even though we're not a "traditional" rock band, we can't help but think, "How would Aerosmith do this?", when we're in the studio. I guess this was just a little nod to their inspiration.i Lyrics Count on Me Music & Lyrics by Christopher Machado (ASCAP) Well, you can expect I'll behave my best For the first six months to a year Then the rule books say That'll go away Well little missy, I've got something you should hear You can expect I'll fail Or end up in jail Or maybe in your best friends bed That's what you've come to know That's not how this story goes Start using your heart not you head 'Cause you can count on me You can count on me You can count on me to let you down With your crysta l ball You must see it all The future you learned from your past Misfortune tellers Crawl out of the cellars To convince you that we'll never last You can expect I'll fail Or end up in jail Or maybe in your best friends bed That's what you've come to know That's not how this story goes Start using your head not you head 'Cause you can count on me You can count on me You can count on me to let you down
