Lyrics

Sarah?s scared about love
She?s wondering if the blood?s enough that she?s made of
Because this equation just won?t balance with biology
And it doesn?t seem to fall in line with a hedonist utility
And a billion years of DNA don?t keep her warm tonight
It?s just so irreducibly complex
It wouldn?t be love if it were anything less

She can feel it on the streets
The crust of life that rises from each crippling defeat
And she knows, when all the lights are out,
She can?t tell anything from anything without a doubt
And the flame of her foundation, it slowly fades away
She?s just so irreducibly complex
She wouldn?t be worth a dream if she were anything less

She can drink this all away
Walk into the worries that wind her through the day
But in the end she can?t escape
The climb from this confusion is the common human fate
When every tearful sunset is a sunrise somewhere else
It?s just so irreducibly complex
It wouldn?t be real if it were anything less
