Equation

I'm staying up too late
and still losing weight
and the lights are blazing
as my mind works this equation
no matter how I figure
the query raised grows bigger
it just doesn't add up
no, no sum sums it up

what did I overlook
in this lover's handbook
did I jump the gun
and end the long run
that first urgent kiss
that winter day of bliss
memories that still flare
when my mind visits there
it just doesn't add up
no, no sum sums it up
