"By The Numbers" lyrics

One more time into the deep unknown
One more time into the soul
One more run to get this done and let it go
It'll be one more and then one more again
Too many more to let it go
Can't reach amen when there is no end
Just so you know

Two's the number that'll get it done
Two's the one for symmetry
One plus one, that's how we've all begun, like you and me
Two's the number when the one won't do
Two is solid to the bone
Just two will do when the kid needs shoes
Don't get old alone

Give me a three for the love of me
I need a three to see me through
Three can stand with no helping hand from me or you
Three's the number that defines the plane
Three will keep you on the ground
It's hard to see where the plane might be
Without the up and down

How many numbers till we get it done?
How many more are we gonna find?
Fingers, toes, past that it goes time out of mind
Just like the one that's never done
Way past the farthest you can see
Fingers, toes, and when you've done with those
You can count on me
Count on me
