You've marched
To your pomp and your circumstance bravely
You're starched, you're a formal affair

And I can't breathe
You're smart, you know all those big words
And their meanings

But you aren't very good at remembering
Small things


You say that you love me, but I ask you how much
So you spread your arms wide 'til behind you
Your thumbs touch

And you hold that position as I add it all up
Oh, in cold hard mathematical terms
You're in love


CHORUS:
So hold me, don't think too hard about it

Would common sense allow it?
You wait too long and you'll lose me
Just do it when you get the urging

Oh, it's not rocket surgery
When you know you love someone, it's easy


Your book heavy head is so weighted with deep thoughts
As you lay in my lap and we struggle with small talk
Try writing it down, but you trip on writer's block

So we just "hmmm mmm mmm"
On and on and on and on


BRIDGE:
We're a pair, you're smart, I'm romantic
Kiss like you care, your mouth is mechanical

Words are air, over my head they blow
So blink once if you like it
And blink twice if you don't

Three times, if you love it
And then just keep them closed


BRIDGE
