"The Sum" lyrics

"The Sum"

We're all floating by on the breeze
The wind takes its time and then leaves
In some strange service to pain
Or in love with a hurt we can't name
Though my state of mind ain't been right
All my sorrows left me that night

And if you don't know it by now
You're gonna learn it somehow

Now I'm getting carried away
I was king of the world yesterday
I had every need met and more
But good isn't what I'm good for
Well, the answer's easy to find
And the sum will be yours in time
And if you don't know it by now
You're gonna learn it somehow

There's plenty more dirt in the ground
And an ocean of hurt to go around
Well how much more can it take?
This love is a spell I can't break
Though the sum ain't easy to learn
It'll bring you the world in return

And if you don't know it by now
You're gonna learn it somehow
And if you don't know it by now
You're gonna learn it somehow
