When you walked alone
To leave your life at home
You really wanted to die
And if you hoped
To hold the key to eternity
You really wanted to die

Cant count your blessings
Saying goodbye
Did you really watch
Your desires resign?
In the case of a wanderin' eye

When you fell to earth
And lost the love to love
You really wanted to try

Can't count your blessings
Saying goodbye

(chorus)
39, By design

Did they beam you up
Into the lights in the sky?
If you could take a polaroid of your life

Would you cry?
Would you make them stare
Into the whites of your eyes
(if you could take a polaroid)
(eternal point of view)

And when you came to turn the hands
On the sands of time
You really wanted to die
And then you showed them all you fell
It was so hard to break the spell
You just wanted to die
Can't count your blessings
Saying goodbye

(chorus)

Really just a roll of the dice
When truth or lies will make you cry
Really doesn't make a lot of sense
Too tense to recompense
(the end we'll all be cleansed)
