Answer
"Won't you write a song for me for a change?"
You asked me shyly and jokingly
"Ok" was too straight-forward an answer
So I settled for "I'll think about it"
It's always like this
My stubbornness putting distance between us
No matter how I write about it on paper
Our romance appears to be larger than life
I’ve always been better with math than words
So unknowingly, I started calculating
Adding “friends” and “lovers”, then dividing that by 2
I realized you’re the answer
I can feel the meaning of being alive
Because I can share happiness and sorrow with you
You are my answer
When I found out you were casually hiding messages
From your ex-girlfriend
I was indignant, and being unable to forgive you
I gave you the cold shoulder
Jealousy and sarcasm
And even those low blow jabs
You took them all as the ring of love
Adding “pretending to be strong” and “coward”, then dividing that by 2
I realized I’m the answer
Always working hard to reach a compromise
You’re the guidepost in the darkness
You are my answer
The answer’s surely out there somewhere
There’s no need to rush, or to be impatient
Sometimes you see it when you give up the search
Adding “sorry” and “thanks”, then dividing that by 2
I realize now, love’s the answer
Adding “friends” and “lovers”, then dividing that by 2
I realized you’re the answer
You’re the one who made me realize
The answer I was looking for was right by my side
In the past and from now on
I can feel the meaning of being alive
You are my answer
