Life by Numbers Songtext
von Jim Lauderdale

I met you in the middle of a hurricane
Our feet were barely touching on the ground
You taught me how to rise above the unexplained
The least of which was more than profound

I told you baby listen they can′t trade your place
With anybody for the one inside
There's something that connects us more than anything
It all adds up to signify

Life by numbers you and me
Keep your thunder right where my lightning′s gonna be

I always wondered how far was infinity
And now I see it flashin' through your eyes
I heard a little voice that said we're almost free
But that should come as no big surprise


Now life by numbers won′t lie down
Keep your thunder right but don′t trade it for the easy way out

Oh your name puts some rhythm to the game
Keeps on humming through the house
Love when fair makes it more than OK
I'd like to explain but here comes the solo
[ guitar ]
They′ll ask you to play She Thinks I Still Care
It's time to bring the singer on down
They′ll try to tell you to listen once you been back there
You better learn to get yourself out

Look out now life by numbers you and me
Keep your thunder close where the lightning's gonna be
Look around now life by numbers won′t lie down
Keep your thunder don't trade it for the easy way out

Now life by numbers won't lie down...
Now life by numbers won′t lie down...
