verse 1 I couldn't count the marks upon your face Left no trace, the moment's gone I couldn't count the steps that it took And all the moves that led to you That's the meaninglessness of numbers to me verse 2 The ones the twos the threes, fly with the breeze Amount to none, infinity plus one The figures of the news, the boundless blues A secret lies in every soul That's the meaninglessness of numbers to me verse 3 I couldn't count the who's, the how's, the wheres The glances shared, the blinking eye Oh the morning trains, the midnight pains All add up to make a life That's the meaninglessness of numbers to me verse 4 I couldn't count the times, the wines, the names Oh life is not a numbers game Give me a million or give me one, I do not care I only care that it begun That's the meaninglessness of numbers to me That's the meaninglessness of numbers to me
