The numbers don't lie
Made sure my checklist was just right
If there's no match, then there's no time
Why bother to try?
True love or new friends
There's no sense granting a difference
I'll want what the list recommends
For my existence
Then you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite
If I'm combative
Please forgive a broken perspective
To seek the safest way to live
Not so creative
Yet you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite
When the threats of war abound
Let's recall the peace we found
When your counsel invokes my disdain
Your kindness relieves all the pain
Letting the list steer, I'd adhere
But it has become clear
What I called safety
That was fear inside a mirror
Then you came along, my opposite
You came along, my opposite
Finding strength when we collide
Differences we must not hide
If we dare to hold them in
We'd drown in the shallow end
If to love means to agree
We'd all be on separate teams
Be opposed or by my side
Either way, we'll have to fight
So dear friend do beware
That I am gonna care
For every thing you do
And love you even when I don't approve
And I will throw away that checklist every day
To throw away more time with you
