They give me 81 years here
Fifty-hour weeks, workhorse
I smile about thirteen minutes a day
I take a vacation every other summer
And forty-five thousand gross a year
Somehow I can't feel it
Numbers were never my thing, yeah
And whenever the day rushes past me
I realize how much I miss you
I think everything that counts
The wristwatch counted every step
Says I should walk faster or it'll be too late
And reminds me to take a sip of water
I searched for the word "meaning" seven times
And Amazon recommends this book to me
But where's the meaning if the two of us don't see each other?
Numbers were never my thing, yeah
And whenever the day rushes past me
I realize how much I miss you
I think everything that counts
Tell me, when the heart stops beating, who calculates the value?
To thirty trillion cells and 212 bones
But that one heart beats and longs for more
Somehow I can't feel it
Numbers were never my thing, yeah
And whenever the day rushes past me
I realize how much I miss you
I think everything that counts
And whenever the day rushes past me
I realize how much I miss you
I think everything that counts
