Arithmetic - Brooke Fraser

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 apologise my way to you

If the heavens stretched that far

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

'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos 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 sum

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
