Standard (EADGBE)

In crowded bars,

at subway cars

Whenever you are next to me,

center of gravity,

can't feel both feet on the ground

Walking home after dark,

past the softball park

Whenever you are next to me,

center of gravity,

can't feel both feet on the ground

It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school

Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me

It's a familial song

we've known so long

Your clever cuts into me

as long as you're next to me

I can't feel both feet on the ground

Whenever you are next to me,

center of gravity,

can't feel both feet on the ground
