Subtract Somebody's Sun

[Intro: reversed piano, whispered] (one plus one... minus you) (minus me... minus everything) [808 glissando, cowbell] [Verse 1: syncopated melodic rap] I've got a thousand ways to say I care And not a single way to make it fair Every kiss becomes a debt unpaid Every promise casts another shade (ah-ah-ah) [Pre-Chorus: rising harmonies] They say the answer should be clear But every answer disappears When I imagine all the tears (tears-tears-tears) [Chorus: soaring falsetto, heavy bass] Love doesn't divide so easily Every heart's a whole infinity How can I subtract somebody's sun? Just to prove my love for only one (only one, only one) If choosing means somebody has to bleed What does that make me? [Drop: pitched vocal chops, cowbell rolls] (one-one-one) (gone-gone-gone) (choose-lose, choose-lose) (bmm-tss-ka, bmm-tss-ka) [808 slides, breakbeat fills] [Verse 2: double-time, layered whispers] Every door I close becomes a scar Every heart I leave still beats afar I could name the one and end the war But hear the others crying through the floor (no-no-no) [Bridge: stripped piano, fragile vocal] I know that love can't promise no one pain And standing still can wound them just the same I'm counting stars I cannot rearrange Afraid the sky will never look the same [Final Chorus: stacked harmonies, halftime] Love doesn't divide so easily Every heart's a whole infinity How can I subtract somebody's sun? Just to prove my love for only one (one-one-one) The numbers never tell me what to do When every number's you [Outro: tape-stop, distant falsetto] (minus you... minus me...) [Silence]
