Do The Math Songtext / Lyric

Do the math

Because you only have so many hours

Left to make it count



Subtract the fact

First you have to figure out what life is

Really all about



You can count the minutes and you can avoid the seconds

You can call the standards

Forgetting all your lessons now



I count on one hand

What matters to me most

Only time can

Subtract them I suppose

But I'm trying

Trying not to let it go

Still the numbers drop

It's just not adding up






Do the math

The path you plan to get you by may not be

Not be working out



Subtract the fact

The future that you carry on your shoulders

Adds up ounce by ounce



You can count the minutes and you can avoid the seconds

You can call the standards

Forgetting all your lessons now



I count on one hand

What matters to me most

Only time can

Subtract them I suppose

But I'm trying

Trying not to let it go

Still the numbers drop

It's just not adding up



It's just not adding up



I count on one hand

What matters to me most

Only time can

Subtract them I suppose

But I'm trying

Trying not to let it go

Still the numbers drop

It's just not adding up



I count on one hand

What matters to me most

Only time can

Subtract them I suppose

But I'm trying

Trying not to let it go

Still the numbers drop

It's just not adding up
