Arithmetic

I´ve been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I´ve been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You´re the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I´ve been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I´d apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
[Chorus]
I won´t find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
´Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic
´Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I´ve forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want
When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I´ve been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You´re the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I´ve been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I´d apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want
[Chorus]
I won´t find what I am looking for
If I only "see" by keeping score
´Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic
´Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I´ve forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want
When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
You´ll still be the one I want
