"Numbered" lyrics

The candles on a birthday cake
Stockcars in a Nascar race
The freckles on your baby's face at the end of summer
The beers you drink in a college dorm
The I love you's 'till she don't no more
The seconds in between the lighting and the thunder

It all goes by, in the blink of an eye

You breathe in and breathe out
Then the sun's up and it goes down
There's times you get to live
And times you just get through
Every long kiss, every heartbreak
Every bull's eye, every mistake
I guess we decide just what they all add up to
But it feels a little sweeter going by
Soon as you realize these days are numbered

Every burn 'em down Broadway night
Firework July sky
Every hold her tight all night long under the covers
Every footprint in the sand
Every long talk with your old man
You do the math and he ain't getting any younger so

You breathe in and breathe out
Then the sun's up and it goes down
There's times you get to live
And times you just get through
Every long kiss, every heartbreak
Every bull's eye, every mistake
I guess we decide just what they all add up to
But it feels a little sweeter going by
Soon as you realize these days are numbered
These days are numbered

Every long kiss, every heart break
Every bull's eye, every mistake
I guess we decide just what they all add up to
But it feels a little sweeter going by
Soon as you realize these days are numbered
These days are numbered

Every rocking chair lullaby
Bedtime story goodnight
Read it to me one more time
Daddy, I love you
Numbered, these days are numbered
These days are numbered
