I know that one plus one equals two but when I'm with you
It's more like a half and a half equals a whole
a whole soul a whole person
Then another half comes along but it doesn't add up
one whole plus one half equals one and a half
but that's just too large
so I'm subtracted from the equation and left to stand alone
just a half of a whole
That's why I’m scared of numbers
they're always changing never constant
going up or down
they can be positive or negative but never both
some numbers are just imaginary
you think of it but it's not real
It's not there when you want it to be
some numbers are decreasing
large one minute but a simple change
a simple subtraction can make it go down, down, down
until the number disappears altogether
That's why I’m scared of numbers
they're always changing never constant
going up or down
they can be positive or negative but never both
Numbers aren't all bad
Numbers can be positive and keep going up, up, up
you can keep adding positive to positive
it will just keep getting greater and greater
until you add a negative
or subtract a part
then things start going down
That's why I’m scared of numbers
they're always changing never constant
going up or down
they can be positive or negative but never both
