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…
