lyrics

Two and two they come together, and if you’re clever, then they make four.
You’re not supposed to remember that you ever imagined more.

But you knew my secrets like the back of your heart.
You held us together so hard we fell apart.

You say we’re always in the same night with the same stars in the sky.
You were a simple broken record, and I was afraid to meet your eye.

But desperate treason was our favorite drink.
We were always trying to ruin us, despite what we might like to think.

CHORUS:
Twice as long’s not long enough when you are drinking from his cup.
Twice as long’s not long enough by far.
I’m sorry about the piece of you that never seems to make it through.
And I’m sorry for the things you think you are.

There is something in the thunder that comes to you from the room above.
That makes you drink right out of her hand like it was full of whole-grain love.

We’re the all time losers, at the head of our class.
I’d give away my whole family for just a day here in the grass.

CHORUS

… the things you think you are.
