Arithmetic

I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until i can make you mine
You are the one i want, you are the one i want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things i know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one i want, you are the one i want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See i'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one i want, you are the one i want

I won't find what i am looking for
If i only "see" by keeping score
'cos i know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'cos if i add, if i subtract
If i give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one i want
You'll still be the one i want
You'll still be the one i want
You'll still be the one i want
