My Life’s Arithmetic Means


Words and Music by Clementine

Anytime you need someone to hold on
Even though it’s only words of comfort
Whatever you are doing
You can always count on me

Chemically induced hallucinations
Do you want to heal or push the knife on
I can be the only drug that you will ever need

I’ll be your North, your South
Your East and West
Your pillow, your wine
And your Sunday’s rest
When the twilight sets in
I’ll pin your curtains with stars

Laughter always forgives and forgets
Oh, like a bubble at a touch
I won’t let you break
I won’t even pretend
Cause you’re the value of my life’s arithmetic means

Trouble’s that you share are troubles halved
I’ll carry all the weight oh, turnaround
I’ll even share these dreams to last
For fifteen thousand nights

I’ll be your North, your South
Your East and West
Your pillow, your wine
And your Sunday’s rest
When the twilight sets in
I’ll pin your curtains with stars

Laughter always forgives and forgets
Oh, like a bubble at a touch
I won’t let you break
I won’t even pretend
Cause you’re the value of my life’s arithmetic means
Cause you’re the value of my life’s arithmetic means

    oh my goodness!! i love the song. i am already singing to it so easily. this is so beautiful. the lyrics are so refreshing and inspiring. I am suddenly reminded of my grandfather in a dream I had before. I was beset with problems and confusion and I asked him for advice and he said, “Take mathematics.” 😀
