lyrics

The numbers don’t lie
Made sure my checklist was just right
If there’s no match, then there’s no time
Why bother to try?

True love or new friends
There’s no sense granting a difference
I’ll want what the list recommends
For my existence

Then you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite

If I’m combative
Please forgive a broken perspective
To seek the safest way to live
Not so creative

Yet you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite

When the threats of war abound
Let’s recall the peace we found
When your counsel invokes my disdain
Your kindness relieves all the pain

Letting the list steer, I’d adhere
But it has become clear
What I called “safety”
That was fear inside a mirror

Then you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite

Finding strength when we collide
Differences we must not hide
If we dare to hold them in
We’d drown in the shallow end
If “to love” means “to agree"
We’d all be on separate teams
Be opposed or by my side
Either way, we’ll have to fight

So dear friend, do beware
That I am gonna care
For every thing you do
And love you even when I don’t approve
And I will throw away that checklist every day
To throw away more time with you
