Doing the Math - Ari Hest

It’s no use doing the math

The numbers always change

Each time you add 'em up

You gotta go back and rearrange

You can’t expect the day

To go just how you planned

It’s no use doing the math

Or even thinking that you can

In the dead of night I woke

To a sound that hurt my heart

I heard my little lady crying

She must’ve realized we were apart

So I hurried to the crib

And I found her fast asleep

Maybe it was all a dream

The learning curve is steep

I’m hoping for the best

Prepping for the worst

I can’t decide these days

What’s a blessing or a curse

My love tells me she’s excited

Then she tells me she’s a wreck

Just when I think I know what’s coming

It’s time to double check

One day I will look back

On this windy, rugged path

And be glad I took it easy

And didn’t do the math

I’m hoping for the best

Prepping for the worst

I can’t decide these days

What’s a blessing or a curse

Cause you can’t expect the day

To go just how you planned

It’s no use doing the math

Even thinking that you can

It’s no use doing the math

Even thinking that you can
