Arithmetic Lyrics by Brooke Fraser

A Sides

2003

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marveling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine

[Chorus]
You are the one I want
You are the one I want

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You are the one I want
You are the one I want

[Verse 3]
I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologize my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far

[Chorus]
'Cause you are the one I want
You are the one I want

[Bridge]
I won't find what I am looking for if I only see by keeping score
'Cause I know now you are so much more than arithmetic
'Cause 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 one I want

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
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
