[Silence]
[Arrangement: Atmospheric piano, deep synth bass, spacious drums, percussion jam, shimmering guitars, gradually building into an anthemic chorus.]
[Intro]
Nothing yet…
(Not quite)
Empty space
(Before the light)
Zero…
(Zero…)
… lookin’ for a hero
[Verse 1]
Standing still
(Between the lines)
Waiting for
(A different sign)
No beginning
(No end in sight)
Just another
(Quiet night)
One by one
(The numbers grow)
But where they start
(I’ve yet to know)
[Chorus]
I’m “I” all along
(In the zero zone)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
Waiting for
(Someone to come through)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
[Refrain]
I’m all alone
(In the zero zone)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
[Verse 2]
Zero waits
(Without complaint)
Neither loss
(Nor any gain)
Potential sleeping
(Beneath the calm)
Holding futures
(In its palm)
Then comes one
(A single spark)
A point of light
(Inside the dark)
[Refrain]
I’m all alone
(In the zero zone)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
[Bridge]
One becomes
(More than one)
When another
(Joins the sum)
Side by side
(The numbers grow)
That’s the way
(Relationships flow)
Zero…
(Is where we start)
One…
(Is finding heart)
Two…
(Is sharing life with you)
[Instrumental]

[Echo Guitar]
[Synth Swell]
[Final Chorus]
I’m all alone
(In the zero zone)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
Searching through
(Come show me the view)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
[Final Refrain]
I’m all alone
(In the zero zone)
Long for a sum of one
(In the zero zone)
…and what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
Never truly gone
(From the zero zone)
Now the silence grew…
(Into me and you)
And what I wouldn’t do…
(For two, too)
[Outro]
Zero…
(Became one)
One…
(Became two)
The very thing…
(Began with you.)
