Why can`t you just forget about algebra
It´s all about you now
And all your talk of logic and formula
could never help you now
(not anymore)
`cause you were always
on the run
from the darkness in your heart
so you wear it
on the outside of your chest
I have taken the liberty
to tell your ghosts to go
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
they`ve promised not to show
for a while
`cause you were always
the little boy
who couldn´t keep it to yourself
so your your heart
is on the outside of your chest
at the speed of light
you moved inside my home
nothing is alright
if you are still alone
And your heart
is greater than
the sum of you and everyone
but still you´re always
on the run from the poison in your lungs
It´s all about you now
And all your talk of logic and formula
could never help you now
(not anymore)
on the run
from the darkness in your heart
so you wear it
on the outside of your chest
to tell your ghosts to go
bribing them with sunlight and sympathy
they`ve promised not to show
for a while
the little boy
who couldn´t keep it to yourself
so your your heart
is on the outside of your chest
you moved inside my home
nothing is alright
if you are still alone
is greater than
the sum of you and everyone
but still you´re always
on the run from the poison in your lungs

I love how this was slyly rehashed in The Cardigans album Long Gone Before Daylight.
'i travelled east and i travelled west and i found a boy with a heart on his chest'.
As featured in the song, 'Lead Me Into The Night'
