Academia

You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculatorEAnd together we'll work out on the escalatorI will time you as you run up the downEAnd you'll measure my footsteps as I blow through this townThe mean of our heights is divided by the nightsEWhich is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fightsThe pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowingEAnd the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show itOh academia you can't pick me upSoothe me with your words when I need your loveI am a dash and you are a dotEWhen will you see that I am all that you've gotI'm a binary code that you cracked long agoEBut to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wroteI'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is itEThat I still can't catch your eye?You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heardEWhile I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurtOh academia you can't pick me upSoothe me with your words when I need your loveYou're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasionEWill you listen to my proof or will you add another page onIt appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughsEIt appears to me the pen has over analysed againAnd if I am a number I'm infinity plus oneEAnd if you are five words you are afraid to be the oneAnd if you are a number you're infinity plus oneEAnd if I am four words then I am needing of your loveOh academia you can't pick me upSoothe me with your words when I need your loveOooh Academia, Academia, AcademiaOooh Academia, Academia, Academia
