I drew a picture of myself on a green square sheet of paper
Body draped in a big coat and a long skirt
Messy, fluffy windswept hair
I drew myself without a face

I couldn't fathom what it meant to be real
There's a mirror in the hallway now
I don't recognize the stranger I walk past
I picture the null symbol in my mind

But my body began to take shape in your arms

I drew a picture of you and I in front of the ocean on a green square sheet of paper
I wrote down little shallow and short Japanese letters for "person" to make an ocean
It was an impossible view
And the two figures that I meant for to be us were so hopelessly landlocked
Staring into tomorrow forever

I reformulated the equation over and over
and the answer always remained the same
It's an impossible number

But I'm taking shape, I'm taking form
