Arithmetic

[artistajax]

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 apologize my way to you
if the heavens stretched that far.
Cause you are the one I want.
You are the one I want.

I won't find what I am looking for
if I only see by keeping score,
cause I know now you're so much more
than arithmetic.
Cause 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 son,
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.
