LYRICS
Why can’t you just forget about algebra?
It’s all about you now
And all your talk of logic and formula
Could never help you now
Not anymore
‘Cause you were always on the run
From the darkness in your heart
So you wear it on the outside of your chest
I have taken the liberty
To tell your ghosts to go
Bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
They promised not to show
For a while
‘Cause you were always the little boy
Who couldn’t keep it to yourself
So your heart is on the outside of your chest
At the speed of light you moved inside my home
And nothing is alright if you are still alone
And your heart is greater than
The sum of you and everyone
But still you’re always on the run
From the poison in your lungs
And your heart is on the outside of your chest
