The Meaninglessness of Numbers - Tom Rosenthal

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

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

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

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
