Benjamin Clementine - Mathematics Lyrics

Silly boy don't you know that young girl was going to leave
She would have not even stayed
Even if you two might have meant to be

Don't you bother calling that lady
Or she will tell you what she really needed
Sighting ain't all about the chemistry but mathematics
Mathematics

Simply add one to one and it will be two
And so subtract one from two and you are left with you

Now if a ship gets stuck at the North Pole
That doesn't mean it's about to join her sisters the Titanics
And so swallow your pride, won't you feel some guilt?
If you want to cry, go ahead, don't you panic

For all we know, tomorrow surely is another day
I want now to give yourself a break and start all over again

Think mathematics
Think mathematics

Just as on add on and they become two
Simply subtract one from two and you will be left with you now

Left with you now
Only you now
With a little bit of feelings
Subtract you now
From the two now
We were left with you now
With a little bit of feelings

You are a number
Just a number added to her past lovers
