Lyrics
1 Minus 1 © 2002 By Seth Lisonbee
1) Well I've never had a head for numbers,
at math I've always been kinda dumb.
Any first grade student,
Can answer 1 minus 1.
Well maybe my thinking is different,
And some people might not agree,
But 1 minus 1 is the equation
That means you?re away from me.
Chorus) And 1 minus 1 = lonely,
when one of the 1's is you.
It's the hardest kind of subtraction,
And it's what I'm going through.
1 minus 1 has a feeling,
it's an empty solitude.
And 1 minus 1 has a color,
I'm so blue without you.
2) If I had to give an accounting
of what my feelings mean,
I'd put it right there at the top of the list
That you're my everything.
And after I've itemized
All the things about you that thrill me.
And I've totaled it up and written it down,
It might explain how I feel when you're not around.
Chorus)
bridge) My sadness multiplies,
Each time I face our great divide.
But I'm counting down until the minute when
1 plus 1 makes me smile again?
--But 'till then (chorus)
