[Sia - Academia lyrics]
You can be my alphabet and
I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up to down
And you'll measure my footsteps as
I blow through this town
The mean of our heights is
Divided by the nights
Which is timesed by the daggers in
The root of all our fights
The pass of your poem is to
Swathe me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that
You don't have to show it
Oh, academia, you can pick me up
Soothe me with your words when
I need your love
I am a dash and you're a dot
When will you see that I
Am all that you've got?
I'm a binary code that
You've cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel
That you wish you never wrote
I'm greater than X and lesser than Y
So why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword
A song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles
I'm afraid of being hurt
Oh, academia, you can pick me up
Soothe me with your words when
I need your love
You're a difficult equation with a
Knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof or
Will you add another page on?
It appears to me the graph has
Come and stolen all the laughs
It appears to me the
Pen is overanalyzed again
And if I am a number, I'm infinity plus one
And if you are five words
You are "afraid to be the one"
And if you are a number
You're infinity plus one
And if I am four words then
I am "needing of your love"
Oh, academia, you can pick me up
Soothe me with your words when
I need your love
Oh, academia, academia, academia
Oh, academia, academia, academia
I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up to down
And you'll measure my footsteps as
I blow through this town
The mean of our heights is
Divided by the nights
Which is timesed by the daggers in
The root of all our fights
The pass of your poem is to
Swathe me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that
You don't have to show it
Oh, academia, you can pick me up
Soothe me with your words when
I need your love
I am a dash and you're a dot
When will you see that I
Am all that you've got?
I'm a binary code that
You've cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel
That you wish you never wrote
I'm greater than X and lesser than Y
So why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword
A song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles

Oh, academia, academia, academia
Oh, academia, academia, academia
