The Long Division |
Did somebody try to catch your eye |
And almost change your sad expression? |
Did somebodys hand linger too long? |
Must I now make my confession? |
But youll never know |
What suspicion is Until you lie awake |
And every night you ask yourself |
«what am I to do? |
«Can it be so hard to calculate? |
When three goes into two |
Theres nothing left over |
Hows it gonna feel? |
this time its real |
Its not a temporary fracture |
This is what you get, the stage is set |
For you and your attempted rapture |
Is he gonna smile |
That indulgent smile |
When you come running home? |
And every night you ask yourself, |
«what am I to do? |
«Can it be so hard to calculate? |
When three goes into two |
Theres nothing left over |
What am I gonna say? |
you turn away |
And you leave me here despairing |
What am I going to do? |
I look at you |
You seem to be so long past caring |
Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Only to find out now that its a joke |
So ask yourself, |
«what am I to do? |
«Can it be so hard to calculate? |
When three goes into two |
Theres nothing left over |
Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
«Did somebody say, |
«can we still be friends? |
