[Verse 1]
Grasp manipulator
God, you’re so good at what you do
Come for me like a savior
And I’d put myself via hell for you
Hear all of the rumors these days
That you simply all the time denied
And I fell for you like water
Falls from the February sky
However now the present’s stronger
No, I couldn’t get out if I attempted
However you satisfied me, child
It was all in my thoughts

[Chorus]
Thinkin’ two plus two equals 5, and
I’m the love of your life
‘Trigger if rain don’t pour and solar don’t shine
Then altering you is feasible (Ah, ah)
No, love is rarely logical

[Verse 2]
You constructed a large citadel
With partitions so excessive I couldn’t see
The way in which all of it unraveled
And all of the belongings you did to me
You lied, you lied, you lied, oh

[Chorus]
And now you bought me thinkin’
Two plus two equals 5
And I’m the love of your life
‘Trigger if rain don’t pour and solar don’t shine
Then altering you is feasible
I suppose love is rarely logical
The sky is inexperienced, the grass is crimson
And also you imply all these phrases you mentioned
I’m certain that woman is admittedly your pal
Our issues are all solvable
‘Trigger loving you is loving each

[Bridge]
Argument you held over my head
Introduced up the women you could possibly have as an alternative
Mentioned I used to be too younger, I used to be too tender
Can’t take a joke, can’t get you off
Oh, why do I do that?
I look so silly

[Chorus]
Thinkin’ two plus two equals 5, and
I’m the love of your life
‘Trigger if rain don’t pour and solar don’t shine
Then altering you is feasible (Ah, ah)
No, love is rarely logical

Logical, logical
Love is rarely logical
I do know I’m half accountable
And that makes me really feel horrible
Oh, logical, logical
Love is rarely logical
I do know I may’ve stopped all of it
God, why didn’t I cease all of it?
Oh, logical, logical
Love is rarely logical
I do know I’m half accountable
And that makes me really feel horrible
Oh, logical, logical, love is rarely logical
I do know I may’ve stopped all of it
God, why didn’t I cease all of it?
