1:30am on an audition day and i can’t sleep. as i listen to my iPod, this song came on. now, i tend to obsess over an artist or a song until i can’t stand them move onto others. i am currently on a hiatus regarding the Missy Higgins obsession but when this song came on, i remembered how affected i am by her lyrics. and in a world of flashy videos, the starkness of this just adds to the isolation this song evokes for me. enjoy
i’ve hardly been outside my room in days
coz i don’t feel that i deserve the sunshine’s rays
the darkness helped until the whiskey wore away
and it was then i realized that conscience never fades
when you’re young, you have this image of your life
that you’ll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife
and you make boundaries you never dreamed to cross
and if you happen to, you wake completely lost
but i will fight for you
be sure that i will fight til we’re the special two
once again
and we will only need each other
we’ll bleed together
our hands will not be taught to hold another’s
coz we’re the special two
and we could only see each other
we’ll breathe together
these arms will not be taught to need another’s
coz we’re the special two
i remember someone old once said to me
that lies will lock you up, with truth the only key
but i was comfortable and warm inside my shell
and couldn’t see this place could soon become my hell
so is it better to tell and hurt, or lie to save their face
well i guess the answer is, don’t do it in the first place
i know i’m not deserving of your trust from you right now
but if by chance you change your mind, you know i will not let you down
coz we’re the special two
and we’ll be again
and we will only need each other
we’ll bleed together
our hands will not be taught to hold another’s
coz we’re the special two
and we could only see each other
we’ll breathe together
these arms will not be taught to need another’s
we were the special two
i step outside my mind’s eyes for a minute
and i look over me like a doctor looking for disease
or something that could ease the pain
but nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself
just remembering, just remembering how we were
when we would only need each other
we’d bleed together
these hands would not be taught to hold another’s
we were the special two
and we could only see each other
we’d bleed together
these arms will not be taught to need another’s
coz we’re the special two
