Long Division

This is long division,
This is long division,
This is long division.

This is only a maybe,
Just half of a story
This half of the message,
Lost in the wreckage.

This is long division,
This is long division,
This is long division.

You get the ocean,
I get the mountain.
You get the west coast,
I get the lamp post.

This is long division,
This is long division,
This is long division.

Just a nagging insistence,
the full weight of the distance.
This is half of the promise,
Scratched on the surface.
Fools rush in, although we peel apart so slowly
Like a song that makes you miss the very thing that breaks you.

This is long division,
This is long division,
This is long division,
This is long...
