[The Sweet Arithmetic] [Verse 1] Standing on the corner where the sidewalk ends, Under the buzz of an electric glow. A sign shaped like an arrow begins to bend, Pointing to the first look that we ever know. You wore a yellow dress and a silver ring, I was holding coffee in a paper cup. Neither of us knew what the night would bring, Until the moment that we both looked up. [Chorus 1] It's more than just a simple math, Walking down a brand new path. One and one is something more, Than anything we felt before. Every piece is falling into place, Finding all the magic in your grace. [Verse 2] We count the minutes while the record plays, Dividing up the sugar for our evening tea. Adding up the hours and the quiet days, Finding how to balance out the you and me. Searching for the logic in the way we click, Measuring the distance with a steady hand. But there is something in the sweet arithmetic, That a simple mind could never understand. [Chorus 2] It's more than just a simple math, Walking down a brand new path. One and one is something more, Than anything we felt before. Every piece is falling into place, Finding all the magic in your grace. [Bridge] Shimmering tambourines begin to shake and sound, Cupid’s electric arrow hums above the street. Suddenly the golden sparks are raining down, The moment that our two hearts finally meet. A collision of the heavy and the light, A burst of color in the middle of the night. [Verse 3] Sunlight on the window and the wooden floor, We are moving slowly to a soulful beat. I don’t need to look for answers anymore, As the rhythm rises up beneath our feet. Warm vocal harmonies are filling up the room, Everything is bright and everything is clear. Like a garden coming into sudden bloom, Now we’re standing right beside each other here. [Final Chorus] It's more than just a simple math, Walking down a brand new path. One and one is something more, Than anything we felt before. Every piece is falling into place, Finding all the magic in your grace. [Outro] Just the two of us tonight. Adding up to something bright. The sweet arithmetic. One and one is more than two. It's me and you.
