lyrics

VERSE
Our love is constantly in motion
But it never seems to be moving anywhere
When I see the space between us
I divide it infinitely
But I'm a finite man I can't travel across
an infinity of subdivisible points

PRECHORUS
I realize that it's only a philosophical problem
But I've made it manifest in my heart

CHORUS
Every day I move a little bit closer
Waiting for you to call me to come over
I show you what I am by what I'm not
It's in the logic that I get caught
Our lives are ruled by Zeno's paradox

VERSE
I define myself as moving closer to you
But at a given snapshot in space and time, I am motionless
But you can see me coming, though at each fixed point I'm still
Somehow I'm logically disproving the possibly of motion

PRECHORUS
And this may only be a philosophical problem
But it's what I'm feeling here in my heart

CHORUS
Every day I move a little bit closer
Waiting for you to call me to come over
I show you what I am by what I'm not
It's in the logic that I get caught
Our lives are ruled by Zeno's paradox

BRIDGE
Before I get to you
I need to get halfway there
But before I'm halfway there,
I need to get a quarter way there
Before I'm a quarter way there
I need to get a eighth way there
And so it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

PRECHORUS
And this may only be a philosophical problem
But it's what I'm feeling here in my heart

CHORUS
Every day I move a little bit closer
Waiting for you to call me to come over
I show you what I am by what I'm not
It's in the logic that I get caught
Our lives are ruled by Zeno's paradox
