lyrics

I Subtracted

When you stood in my way
I just turned away
I stared into space
And I laughed at the sun

When you couldn’t relate
I just had to wait
Now it may be too late
But I’m still not done

I subtracted all of the things
That I didn’t need, stepped out of the wings
And planted a seed of something
I didn’t know what it would bring

I subtracted all of the words
That divided my life from hers
But nothing from nothing’s
How everything leans

When you laughed in my face
I washed it away
I wasn’t complacent
What you couldn’t see

It’s a terrible waste
When someone you’ve chased
Turns out to be something
You’d never foreseen

I subtracted all of the things
That I didn’t need, stepped out of the wings
And planted a seed of something
I didn’t know what it would bring

I subtracted all of the words
That divided my life from hers
But nothing from nothing’s
How everything seems
I subtracted all of the things
That I didn’t need, stepped out of the wings
And planted a seed of something
I didn’t know what it would bring
I didn’t know what it would bring
I subtracted everything
