Long Division - Slow Runner

This is long division,

This is long division,

This is long division.

This is only a maybe,

Just half of a story

This half of the message,

Lost in the wreckage.

This is long division,

This is long division,

This is long division.

You get the ocean,

I get the mountain.

You get the west coast,

I get the lamp post.

This is long division,

This is long division,

This is long division.

Just a nagging insistence,

the full weight of the distance.

This is half of the promise,

Scratched on the surface.

Fools rush in, although we peel apart so slowly

Like a song that makes you miss the very thing that breaks you.

This is long division,

This is long division,

This is long division,

This is long…
