You've marched To your pomp and your circumstance bravely You're starched, you're a formal affair And I can't breathe You're smart, you know all those big words And their meanings But you aren't very good at remembering Small things
You say that you love me, but I ask you how much So you spread your arms wide 'til behind you Your thumbs touch And you hold that position as I add it all up Oh, in cold hard mathematical terms You're in love
CHORUS: So hold me, don't think too hard about it Would common sense allow it? You wait too long and you'll lose me Just do it when you get the urging Oh, it's not rocket surgery When you know you love someone, it's easy
Your book heavy head is so weighted with deep thoughts As you lay in my lap and we struggle with small talk Try writing it down, but you trip on writer's block So we just "hmmm mmm mmm" On and on and on and on
BRIDGE: We're a pair, you're smart, I'm romantic Kiss like you care, your mouth is mechanical Words are air, over my head they blow So blink once if you like it And blink twice if you don't Three times, if you love it And then just keep them closed
