[Verse 1]

Mathematics is a difficult thing

I never understood what was the missing link

And by the time I calculated the correct solution

The question had escaped me and so did the conclusion


[Pre-Chorus]

So tell me everything must always equal two

Or nothing else is true and I'll believe you

'Cause your X is equal to my Y

But equations pass me by, so will you


[Chorus]

Take just a little of my mind and subtract it from my soul

Add a fraction of your half and you'll see it makes me whole

Multiply it by the times that we've never been apart

You'll see nothing can divide just a heart plus a heart


[Post-Chorus]

A little of my mind

Take it from my soul

A fraction of your half

See, it makes me whole

And multiply the times

Never be apart

'Cause nothing can divide a heart plus a heart


[Verse 2]

Don't know my Fibonacci or Pythagoras

But the only formula I know will work for us is that

When we're together in the sum of our parts

It's far greater than what we added up to at the start


[Pre-Chorus]

So tell me everything must always equal two

Or nothing else is true and I'll believe you

'Cause your X is equal to my Y

But equations pass me by, so will you


[Chorus]

Take just a little of my mind and subtract it from my soul

Add a fraction of your half and you'll see it makes me whole

Multiply it by the times that we've never been apart

You'll see nothing can divide just a heart plus a heart


[Post-Chorus]

A little of my mind

Take it from my soul

A fraction of your half

See it makes me whole

And multiply the times

Never be apart

'Cause nothing can divide a heart plus a heart


[Bridge]

A heart plus a heart


[Chorus]

Take just a little of my mind and subtract it from my soul

Add a fraction of your half and you'll see it makes me whole

Multiply it by the times that we've never been apart

You'll see nothing can divide just a heart plus a heart


[Post-Chorus]

A little of my mind

Take it from my soul

A fraction of your half

See it makes me whole

And multiply the times

Never be apart

'Cause nothing can divide a heart plus a heart
