Symmetry (The Way Things Have to Be)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Or say you're in a room And there's a beautiful fire And you're looking out the window But your eyes keep returning to the fire This is what I'm thinking The reason your eyes keep returning to the fire Is because it divides your sight Into left and right And dark and light and dark Like a fine dividing wire [Verse 2] Here's another thing That I noticed last night When he kissed me over there He usually kissed me over here too I must have known it in my heart And with my inner sense of art 'Cause when I kiss him over there I never kiss him over here too [Chorus] It's the way of the world People do it everywhere If you're going to do it over here Then usually they do it over there Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be [Verse 3] Or say you're at a table And you have your forks and knives Do you move them around 'til You get them just right? (This is while you're talking to someone) Or you work in a nightclub And you notice that Even though you try to seat everyone on one side of the room They always spread themselves out evenly from this side to that Like atoms in a model [Chorus] It's the way of the world People do it everywhere If you're going to do it over here Then usually they do it over there Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be [Verse 4] Or say you're in an air show And you're flying with two other pilots And you want to do it right 'Cause you like to do it right And one guy is flying At the tip of your left wing And the other guy's off Doing his own thing Would it bother you? It bothers me [Chorus] It's the way of the world People do it everywhere If you're going to do it over here Then usually they do it over there Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be Symmetry is the way things have to be [Outro] You can't chop down symmetry You can't chop down symmetry You can't chop down symmetry You can't chop down symmetry, symmetry, symmetry Symmetry, symmetry, symmetry Symmetry, symmetry, symmetry Symmetry, symmetry, symmetry
