Chemistry Lyrics - Singles - Kimya Dawson

my heart is on my sleeve my head is in the sand 

i said how did we end up here? you said happenstance 

but i didn't understand so i made other plans 

i ran to the ocean washed the blood off of my hands 

i washed away my tears washed away ten years 

washed away the empty space in-between my ears 

and you said all that i mean is that you and me 

didn't meet because of fate but rather probability 

and you said the truth's like corn and lies are like weeds 

you said the schroedinger equation collapsed perfectly 

and i said mercy me be patient please 

'cause i don't know a goddam thing about the birds and the bees 

i just know what i'm like and i'm like what i see 

even though it's hard to see because you just blinded me 

and if there's one thing i learned in chemistry 

it's that the gain of electrons is reduction, obviously 

but you can't see electrons without machines 

and you can't tell from my inflection if i'm being mean 

and i don't know if i can take you seriously 

sometimes elections depend on the absentees 

and my family and my friends 

and all the little kids that love me make me strong 

and no matter how this ends 

i know i'll never ever ever be alone 

some day i'll be an old lady 

with a big dress and an apron 

a babushka and bare feet 

i'll be out in my garden 

on my hands and knees 

and i'll be singing a song 

that is really sad and sweet 

mommy and daddy your baby is grown 

and the smell of the cold, wet dirt reminds me home
