Periodic Table

There's plenty of fish in the sea
Know what that's good for
Just a degree
Yeah
Not in what you think
Not trying to pass marine biology

So how about chemistry
Got a 101
But never took a girl to prom
Maybe that's where I went wrong

Drowning in notes
That's no question
But never learned the lesson
Regret doesn't lessen

So could you pass this note over there
To the girl with the smile, captivating stare
Put the compound in the beaker, I'm scared
Time to turn up your speaker, let it blare

Bass just dropped
Like my stomach when she saw
She crumbled it up
Tossed it in the test tube of love

Oxygen left the room
Hydrogen's a mood
Say hi again
Would that be rude

Plenty of fish in the sea
Can they survive in chlorine
Why don't we see
Going to need safety goggles
Cause, if love is chemistry
Then I think I'm unable
To be on this one girl's
Periodic table

Young love
Makes us all unstable
Like compounds spilled
All over the table

So we put our feelings in compounds
Bottle them up
That's a formula for pressure
Don't let it blow up

Yet that's what I did to her phone
Sent abbreviations from haha to H2O

Just like science class
This too shall pass
Cause for every unrequited compound
There's some helium
It'll heal the pain
Have to trust me

Happens to everyone, yeah

If love is chemistry
Sometimes we're unable
To be on that one person's
Periodic table

If love is chemistry
Sometimes we're unable
To be on that one person's
Periodic table

Yeah eventually
You need that label
Crucial element
To anything that's stable, but

If love is chemistry
Sometimes we're unable
To be on that one person's
Periodic table
