The Checklist Lyrics

The numbers don't lie

Made sure my checklist was just right

If there's no match, then there's no time

Why bother to try?

True love or new friends

There's no sense granting a difference

I'll want what the list recommends

For my existence

Then you came along, my opposite

You came along, my opposite

If I'm combative

Please forgive a broken perspective

To seek the safest way to live

Not so creative

Yet you came along, my opposite

You came along, my opposite

When the threats of war abound

Let's recall the peace we found

When your counsel invokes my disdain

Your kindness relieves all the pain

Letting the list steer, I'd adhere

But it has become clear

What I called safety

That was fear inside a mirror

Then you came along, my opposite

You came along, my opposite

Finding strength when we collide

Differences we must not hide

If we dare to hold them in

We'd drown in the shallow end

If to love means to agree

We'd all be on separate teams

Be opposed or by my side

Either way, we'll have to fight

So dear friend do beware

That I am gonna care

For every thing you do

And love you even when I don't approve

And I will throw away that checklist every day

To throw away more time with you
