Xs Ys and Equal Signs

I’m still kneeling at your kitchen table
You’re outside in the rain
Unable to decide

When you saw the diamond ring
I bought ya
You started calculating
All the things that could go wrong
Losing touch with what felt right

Xs Ys and equal signs
Don’t matter in love
So let me put to rest
Your worried anxious mind
Maybe you can’t make sense
Of how far you’re falling in love with me

Maybe it’s meant to be a mystery

Subtracting pros from cons
Out in the rain
Trying to explain away your love for me

Baby where your mind goes
Your heart follows
Why not start believing
The most beautiful things
Are the ones that you can’t see

Xs Ys and equal signs
Don’t matter in love
So let me put to rest
Your worried anxious mind
Maybe you can’t make sense
Of how far you’re falling in love with me

Maybe it’s meant to be a mystery

You can’t think your way through this
Though it may be foolish
Just let your heart choose
It’s a risk we all have to take

C’mon in now
You’re soaking wet
At some point we all have to say yes

Xs Ys and equal signs
Don’t matter in love
So let me put to rest
Your worried anxious mind
Maybe you can’t make sense
Of how far you’re falling in love with me

Maybe it’s meant to be a mystery
