I’ve been high on your smile
watched you cry
every tear would break my heart
in two until there was
only just me and you
You and I like a song
a lullaby
each note would send a shiver
up my spine
cause I was yours and you were mine
you told me that love was enough
and I felt so weak longing for your touch
only two notes and they’re wrong
and I sing it like it’s the only song
I know
love yourself you said as you
closed the door
gentle while we played at being
one soul tied
when you dropped the ball
we both cried
Just one soul
one hand on the door
so we’re told
can you find patience
and make with it peace?
are we ever more in need
of a gentle release?
you told me that I was enough
and I learned the hard way
that even tender love could be tough
Only two notes and they’re blue
and I sing em like the only one listening
is you
I’ll draw from the cards
keep an eye out for storms
send my regards
to the shoes that I’ve worn
raise a glass for the chance
of taking more chances
I’ve always got time
for these hopeless romances
when it’s finally time
to sit back and unwind
I hope to see that smile returned
a compromise and lessons learned
made it all up as we went along
there’s only two notes to this song
And I sing it like it’s the only song
I know
And I sing it like the only one listening
is you
