Academia Lyrics - Sia

1 You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator

2 And together we'll work out on the escalator

3 I will time you as you run up the down

4 And you'll measure my footsteps as I blow through this town

5 The mean of our heights is divided by the nights

6 Which is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights

7 The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing

8 And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it

9 Oh, academia you can't pick me up

10 Soothe me with your words when I need your love

11 I am a dash and you are a dot

12 When will you see that I am all that you've got?

13 I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago

14 But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote

15 I'm greater than x and lesser than y

16 So why is it that I still can't catch your eye?

17 You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard

18 While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt

19 Oh, academia you can't pick me up

20 Soothe me with your words when I need your love

21 You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion

22 Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on

23 It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs

24 It appears to me the pen has over-analysed again

25 And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one

26 And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one

27 And if you are a number you're infinity plus one

28 And if I am four words then I am needing of your love

29 Oh, academia you can't pick me up

30 Soothe me with your words when I need your love

31 Oh, academia, academia, academia

32 Oh, academia, academia, academia
