The Fashion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta keep up a lot
I'd say it's just about time
For my vitamin shot
And you can come close, now, that's alright
We couldn't come closer if we tried
I could have been smarter
I know you don't want to but I really do
I wish we could've changed that
Dont' know about you, but I do – I really do!
Just keep your head in the clouds
And hold your breath tight
Until the next time we get it all right
Just be sure not to forget everything you've got
And you can come close, now, that's alright
It wouldn't really hurt us if we tried
I could have been smarter
You could have been too!
I know you don't want to but I really do!
I wish we could've changed that
Dont' know about you, but I do – I really do!
Things could be different – you know that's true
The four of us in the same catch 22
I wish we could've changed that
Don't know about you, but I do – I really do!
Just keep your head in the clouds
And hold your breath tight
Until the next time we get it all right
Just be sure not to forget everything you've got
And you can come close, now, that's alright
It wouldn't really hurt us if we tried!
I could have been smarter!
You could have been too!
I know you don't want to but I really do!
I wish we could've changed that
Dont' know about you, but I do – I really do!
Things could be different – you know that's true
The four of us in the same catch 22
I wish we could've changed that
Don't know about you, but I do – I really do!
I could have been smarter!
You could have been too!
I know you don't want to but I really do
I wish we could've changed that
Dont' know about you, but I do – I really do!
The Fashion's song Mathematics seems to be about regret and the desire for change. The opening lyrics mention a tempo and the need to keep up, perhaps indicating the pace of life or the pressure to stay current. The line "for my vitamin shot" could be interpreted as a metaphor for something the singer needs to keep going. The next lines address someone directly, suggesting a connection or relationship, and then mention the inability to come closer despite trying. The chorus then repeats a wish for change and a desire for the singer and the addressed person to have been smarter.

Remember there is a tempo
Don’t forget that there is a rhythm you have to keep up with
You gotta keep up a lot
You have to work hard and keep going
I'd say it's just about time
It's almost time for me to take my medicine
For my vitamin shot
I need to take my medicine to stay healthy
And you can come close, now, that's alright
You can come closer to me, it's okay
We couldn't come closer if we tried
We are already as close as we can be
I could have been smarter
I wish I had made better decisions
You could have been too
You could have also made better decisions
I know you don't want to but I really do
I know you don't want to change, but I really want to
I wish we could've changed that
I wish we could have done things differently
Dont' know about you, but I do – I really do!
I don't know about you, but I really wish things had been different
Just keep your head in the clouds
Stay hopeful and optimistic
And hold your breath tight
Be prepared for something exciting or nerve-wracking
Until the next time we get it all right
Until we get everything perfect next time
Just be sure not to forget everything you've got
Don't forget what you have and what's important to you
Things could be different – you know that's true
We both know that things could have been better
The four of us in the same catch 22
We are all in a difficult situation that is hard to escape
It wouldn't really hurt us if we tried!
It's worth trying, even if it doesn't work out perfectly
I could have been smarter!
I regret not making better choices
