Something for Kate - Mental Note Lyrics

Lie awake in fear of mathematics
And easy in the knowledge that you're no longer running the show
Shutting eyes and stabbing maps and trying to find some exciting place to go
But it took you 400 years just to get as far as here
And now you say you're out of your depth
Is this snapping out of equations any way to treat a friend?
Any way to treat a friend

They swear to me they know every flashing light in this city
They understand them like the advice of a friend
Black and white, straight up and down
They know them all, they love them all, they love them all, they love them all
They say that these will guide you on your way
Will blind you if you try too hard to measure them
Keep my feet fixed down to the floor when I want to share the view with someone else
Fingers in their ears, don't wanna talk

Ooh I have tonight
I have this light
And you will see me for miles
I have tonight
And I have this light
And you will see me for miles
In two days, in two days
In two days, in two days

If the table between us isn't the centre of the universe
What's your guess?
If the table between us isn't the centre of the universe
What's your guess?
