You can't do it with numbers or symbols and signs
You use mathematics, or digital code
It's much more than a one, much less than a zero
And love can't be measured, collected, or counted
But we know when it's there
And we know when we've found it
And that's why so many have tried to use words
Poems, and novels, and verse upon verse
Commas and colons, the turn of a phrase
Explaining a thing that cannot be explained
So let's take these numbers and words like they're gifts
That explain many things, in the world that we live
But let's not describe love, let's just enjoy it
And all of the numbers and words it brings with it
It's often said love cannot be described You can't do it with numbers or symbols and signs You use mathematics, or digital code It's much more than a one, much less than a zero And love can't be measured, collected, or counted But we know when it's there And we know when we've found it And that's why so many have tried to use words Poems, and novels, and verse upon verse Commas and colons, the turn of a phrase Explaining a thing that cannot be explained So let's take these numbers and words like they're gifts That explain many things, in the world that we live But let's not describe love, let's just enjoy it And all of the numbers and words it brings with it Explain Request ×
