Numbers Game (Girls) Lyrics

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Blessed be the countdown

Blessed be the countdown

3 is the age you were potty trained and at 7 you got your first report card. all A's

2 is the number of missing front teeth that nicknamed your mouth into a motorway

The 4th house from the left of your house is where your first crush, Richmond lived

Your first real heartbreak was at 15, delivered to your dormitory via national post on navy blue stationary from a boy whose last name you spent 2 semesters adding to your first name

At 19 you lost your virginity to a boy who fell asleep on your shoulder after

3 is the number of times you changed pads the first day you bled

3 is the number of times you've broken someone's heart

3 is the number of times you've had a pregnancy scare

you went to the hospital 36 times before getting the right diagnosis for endometriosis

24 is the number of times in a year you wondered when you would feel like who you were meant to be

26 feels wiser. You started your Master's degree, you can pay all your bills and you finally cook more for yourself

You're settling into yourself at 27. You're so in love with the woman you're becoming – this woman who is tenacious in her purpose, who loves the body she is in, who hits rock bottom but doesn't stay there

28 is the year you thought you'd be married and pregnant, instead you went on 6 failed dates, have one 1 broken engagement and 163 yet-to-be deleted pictures of your ex

And at 29 you crawl your way back to God

Your 30s is a rollercoaster

One day you can't believe you're still single

Then a good love saunters in

Then you who once prayed for a false test now looks for a positive

How are there no off days

How are you you no longer 21

You cannot believe there's still more life to be lived

while you're adjusting the small girl inside for the big girl outside

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Blessed be the countdown

Blessed be the countdown

Is it just a numbers game

Or is time passing by

We cannot believe there's still more life to live
