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
