There Is No Mathematics To Love And Loss Lyrics
If you're leaving, leave the cigarettes.
You've already got the lighter and the keys.
She packs her boxes. He knows that she's serious
not by the look in her face but by the lack of rings.
Words lost their meanings long ago.
Right around the time when she let him know.
oh, oh, oh, oh
Chorus:
Have you ever heard a word?
(Rather be lonely in love, than alive with you and dead)
Have you ever heard a word?
(Hear me out this time)
There is algebra in gasoline.
Burning pictures, pages, and photographs.
Fire can make a conscience clean.
(Strike the match, we'll see)
Rolls the window down, calls his name and pulls away.
Rethinks every word he's said in disarray.
Watched their house burn and said in turn.
What made it home, drive away
(Chorus)
Where does one start
to pick up pieces
of a gasoline heart?
When all he has is driving away.
(Chorus)
You've already got the lighter and the keys.
She packs her boxes. He knows that she's serious
not by the look in her face but by the lack of rings.
Words lost their meanings long ago.
Right around the time when she let him know.
oh, oh, oh, oh
Have you ever heard a word?
(Rather be lonely in love, than alive with you and dead)
Have you ever heard a word?
(Hear me out this time)
Burning pictures, pages, and photographs.
Fire can make a conscience clean.
(Strike the match, we'll see)
Rolls the window down, calls his name and pulls away.
Rethinks every word he's said in disarray.
Watched their house burn and said in turn.
What made it home, drive away
to pick up pieces
of a gasoline heart?
When all he has is driving away.

these lyrics are now correct too. Not sure who updated them, but thanks!

He's saying if she's planning to leave, she still is always welcomed back and she can leave stuff at the house I guess if she's ever coming back.
She packs her boxes. He knows that she's serious not by the look in her face but by the lack of rings.
Maybe marriage, but it could also mean by rings under her eyes, stress, lack of sleep, ect.. which points to that she's feeling relieved for once and the concern of the split was on for a while.

He's never taken it seriously ever since she brought it up.
There is algebra in gasoline. Burning pictures, pages, and photographs. Fire can make a conscience clean. (Strike the match, we'll see)
He's trying to eliminate all memories of her.
Rolls the window down, calls his name and pulls away. Rethinks every word he's said in disarray. Watched their house burn and said in turn. What made it home, drive away
and as they both split, there's no turning back.
:/ that's just what I'm thinking.
My take on the chorus is this:
"Have you ever heard a word?"
"(Rather be lonely in love, than alive with you and dead)"
"Have you ever heard a word?"
"Hear me out this time (hear me out this time)"
i find these lyrics everywhere i look but they dont match the song on anberlin's myspace?
this is actually "reclusion"
wat the heck? this is There is No MAthmatics to Love and Loss. it says on their cd! and besides the word "reclusion" doesnt even makes sense with this song.

soundyourtrumpets- they match now. When ciobotariu commented this the lyrics were for 'Reclusion' and have since been corrected...

someone update the actual lyrics with the cd insert, please.
when the lyrics are right, this song seems to be a about a communicationless relationship.... divorce
'Where does one start to pick up pieces of a gasoline heart? When all he has is driving away.'
tribute to 'gasoline heart', the band. amazing song, like every single one by anberlin. =]
i don't think thats a tribute to a band.
i think its basically a scorned heart. gasoline burns and a burnt heart is a broke heart.
where do you begn to pick up the peices of a broken heart?
