Vocabulary
counting the years
Hi,
"Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things I knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all I want to do"
What does 'counting the years is all I want to do' mean?
Is it a common usage?
Thanks,

Song lyrics are not necessarily common usage, particularly the sentence structure. 'Counting the + time unit plural' usually means 'waiting impatiently for a future event', but here is seems to mean 'enjoying the years' (with his/her main squeeze).
