Lyrics
The Remainder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One and one and one is two
All this and more you said was true
And if you'd left me ground to stand on
I'd run so far away from you
What do you do with a remainder?
You round it up or round it down
And if you're scared by what you're left with
Destroy the answer that you've found
You were the one
When the day had begun
The sun was shining on us
Blinding me such
That I couldn't see
There was a hole beneath me
And then you watched me fall
With no expression at all
There is an absolute zero
But you won't find it on your own
Only someone else can show you nothing
And leave you with a gaping hole
You were the one
When the storm rolled in
The sky was grey like your heart
With no color at all
I don't know you like this
You're as reckless as wind
And I couldn't predict
Just the way this would end
