[Verse 1] It don't just stack, baby It multiply One part won't push It takes away the start A signal go missing Before the hand can move Then the next one whisper "Stay right where you are" [Pre-Chorus] And if you never begin You never can fail That stillness feel safer Than stepping on the rail [Chorus] They multiply, multiply They multiply, my baby They multiply, multiply That's how the whole thing stay No one thing alone It's the way they play They multiply, multiply And delay feels like a plan [Verse 2] Then comes the fear of losing Before the game even starts So not moving on the page Feels lighter than the mark The outside pressure fade out Like rain on dry wood No crowd in the doorway To say you really should [Pre-Chorus] And if the world get quiet The pattern stay warm Each piece fit the next one Like shelter from a storm [Chorus] They multiply, multiply They multiply, my baby They multiply, multiply That's how the whole thing stay No one thing alone It's the way they play They multiply, multiply And delay feels like a plan [Bridge] Then the mind get clever With a shiny little line "Maybe this is strategy Maybe this is timing" It sounds so proper When the reason can talk So the pause wear a suit And the symptom learn to walk [Chorus] They multiply, multiply They multiply, my baby They multiply, multiply That's how the whole thing stay No one thing alone It's the way they play They multiply, multiply And delay feels like a plan
