Burn that smile off your face

Hold your hands still

If we haven't changed by now

Then I guess we never will

You pull your hand away

I close my eyes

We don't see clearly now

But soon we'll realize

This is the day when things fall apart

This is the time our troubles all start

This is the second that you break my heart

This is the moment

Words spoken can't be recalled

The damage is done

You've walked back so many lies

But can you rectify this one?

This is the time there's nothing to say

This is the weekend you don't want to stay

This is the minute you're slipping away

This is the moment

You know I stood by your side in the pouring rain

Won't you do the same?

Now here I am begging you

Don't walk away

Away

This is the day when things fall apart

This is the time our troubles all start

This is the second you break my heart

This is the moment

This is the day our lives grow apart

This is the time our troubles all start

This is the second that I break your heart

This is the moment

Whenever I step on the floor

The girls all step right out the door

And when I start to move my feet

Everyone starts to laugh at me

I'm not blessed with coordination or confidence to push my shame away

But ever since I met you baby, I realize my life is changing

Every single day

I don't like dancing, but you got me jumping up on my feet

I don't like dancing, but you got me letting loose in the street

I don't like dancing, but I got this feeling come over me, oh

I'm learning what romance is

'Cause you make me feel like dancing

All of my friends know it's too late

I'm destined to suffer this fate

There's no way that I could walk away

And so I'll dance with you today

My body moves so awkwardly that I don't know what you could see in me

But when you talk the way you do, I just can't help but bust a move

So everyone can see

I don't like dancing, but you got me jumping up on my feet

I don't like dancing, but you got me letting loose in the street

I don't like dancing, but I got this feeling come over me, oh

I'm learning what romance is

'Cause you make me feel like dancing

All my extroverted friends assumed that I would play the martyr for attention

But when you're starved for validation, trying to dance in front of others is too much

So what is it about you that always makes me feel like I'm invincible?

I'm not sure, I may never know

But here I go

I don't like dancing, but you got me jumping up on my feet

I don't like dancing, but you got me letting loose in the street

I don't like dancing, but I got this feeling come over me, oh

I'm learning what romance is

'Cause you make me feel like dancing

You make me feel like dancing

You make me feel like dancing

Everyone here's laughing, so I fake a grin

It's not a party 'til I'm tired of trying to fit in

Then the door creaks open, not a word is spoken

But suddenly my life begins

You look just like Galadriel, you float just like the wind

When I walk down the street no one glances at me

But you're drawing me in

You've come from the unknown to melt my heart of stone

It's a mystery why you're here with me tonight

You take my hand as we walk out in the snow

I get the feeling you don't ever plan to let go

Everyone says maybe she's a little bit crazy

I don't even wanna know

You look just like Galadriel, you float just like the wind

When I walk down the street no one glances at me

But you're drawing me in

You've come from the unknown to melt my heart of stone

It's a mystery why you're here with me tonight

The stars aren't falling down, but my mind is at ease

You're turning me around, no idea what to do

But I've gotta keep you next to me

You look just like Galadriel, you float just like the wind

And I hope you can see what you're doing to me

'Cause you're pulling me in

You've come from the unknown to melt my heart of stone

It's a mystery why you're here with me tonight

Tonight

You and I are friendly, but like ships in the night we pass on by

But when you smile I want to die, but talking to you might kill me

We have so much in common, and that includes our colossal awkwardness

And I'm about to ask you out, and I'm facing, and I'm shaking

And oh, what have I done

But hey, hey, before you walk away, try to make believe

That if things go right, that you just might

End up wanting me

In my mind's eye, I imagine that in your mind's eye you'd shut me down

So I put this off and shrug, and cough

Do you hate me?

Calculate me

You won't like what you find

But hey, hey, before you walk away, try to make believe

That if things go right, that you just might end up wanting me

I'm the youngest of six, so in social situations I always feel like a child

I know you need a man

I'll try as hard as I can

I'm not trying to sound dramatic, but I've always assumed that I could not be loved

So if you said, let's just be friends, I'd accept that

I could accept that

Oh, I could accept that

But hey, hey, before you walk away, try to make believe

That things go right, that you just might end up wanting me

Oh, hey, hey, before you walk away, try to make believe

That things go right, that you just might end up wanting me

End up wanting me

We met by accident, then we took our time

I was your friend of a friend, and you were my acquaintance

You sat next to me, then you caught my eye

And before too long I knew that I was done with waiting

There's something different in the way you talk

I can't explain

My heart's flying higher than the birds

I know that I don't have a way with words

I know it's not enough telling you what I'm dreaming of

But I just gotta say I never felt this way before we fell in love

We sat in my car while the sun went down

Then we walked out in the dark 'til the seasons started changing

The hardest part is over now

My heart is all but stolen now

No harm in saying no, but now I'm yours

I don't know why I waited for so long

I know by now that I'm where I belong

Won't you take off your gloves and hold my hand in front of everyone

And though people will stare, I only used to care before we fell in love

Back then I'd be just fine walking alone

Now I stare at the wall when you're gone

I can't do anything at all

I'm terrified that you might change your mind

I keep trying so I don't get left behind

'Cause when push comes to shove and when all's been said and done

Oh, I just didn't see how good life could be before we fell in love

No, I never could see how good life should be before we fell in love

Baby, oh, I think about you all the time

Darling, you make it so I can't sleep at night

I know we only just met, lady

There's a lot that I shouldn't say

It's too soon for "I love you", baby

Let me just say I think you're great

And that's as much as you need to know

That's as much as you need to know

Honey, my world revolves around you when you smile

Lady, I wanna take you out to Best Buy

And talk to you for a while

Not sure what I'm saying, baby

But I wanna hold your hand

I've been talking kinda crazy

Maybe just one kiss and you'll understand, oh

And that's as much as you need to know

That's as much as you need to know

There's a time and place for discretion

That time and place is now

Right now

But if you look in my direction

I'm gonna let it all out, out, out, yeah

You make me feel kinda funny

Like I'm falling from a great height

Last thing I wanna mention, honey

I kinda think I wanna make you my wife, oh

But that's as much as you need to know

That's as much as you need to know

That's as much as you need to know, need to know, need to know

That's as much as you need to know

Oh, yeah, oh, oh

Her smile is like a sunset that warns of impending darkness

Her hair is like a flowing river that drags you down

Her eyes are like an x-ray that sees all your imperfections

Her mouth is like a dagger that wounds with every sound

And now I want to walk away, walk away, walk away

Her mind is a broken record, always stuck in a twisted groove

Oh, Jessica, I'm so tired of you

Her name is an onomatopoeia, it's the sound of my breaking heart

Oh, Jessica

Her heart is like a poison that kills you with every beat

Her hands are like trash compactors that smash your dreams

Her voice is a beautiful melody I wish that I could hear again

But I know I'll only hear her laugh at the end, oh

Jessica

Jessica

Her soul is a dusty wasteland

It's devoid of human life

Oh, Jessica, you're as cold as ice

Her name is an onomatopoeia, it's the sound of my breaking heart

Oh, Jessica

Jessica

Jessica

The plane just landed

I'm standing empty handed

Watching you walk away

I begged and I demanded, oh

Now here I am, stranded

I tried so hard to find you

Now fate has reassigned you

Somewhere far away from me

I wanted to remind you

But oh, the door just closed behind you

I'm dying to hold on to you

But you won't stick around

Oh, no, no, no, no

I'm gonna try to send my love

But it's a long way

It's a long way down

You're like an infection

I'm lovesick of your perfection

And my face is turning red again

We had a real connection

But now it's like I'm on

An escalator moving in the opposite direction

I'm dying to hold on to you

But you won't stick around

Oh, no, no, no, no

I'm gonna try to send my love

But it's a long way

It's a long way down

I'll bring you flowers

I'll bring you everything I am

When I drag you back with me

I'm never walking away again

You know it's gonna break my heart

But you won't stick around

Oh, no, no, no, no

I'm gonna try to send my love

But it's a long way

It's a long way down

The mathematician looks down at his work

His steady hand drew all those lines and curves

He slowly wraps it up and hopes that that's enough

He's desperate for some real life secret stuff

The mathematician wakes up late at night

She checks her work to make sure it's alright

There's so much left to do

The years she must see through, if she only knew

The mathematician pushes forward

There's no formula to solve

The challenges involved in his world

And though his pleas for help are unheard

It's a dream come true

The mathematician takes it all in stride

Her face shows wearied sorrow mixed with pride

She struggles to believe

There's something she can't see

But she still pushes forward patiently

The mathematician knows there's no way out

But there's no doubt

She's happy now

The mathematicians walk in silence

She and he, they're all alone

They don't have anyone to save them

As life decides the plus or minus

Still it all adds up to home

The mathematician had no clue at all

Just how much he could love something so small
