Two Against Three

The days were wide open

At the heart of all my joy

Boys were invincible lovers

Just begging to be destroyed

They're up in the morning

Regretfully sobbing and gone

I'm bathed and going back to bed

This was never any cause for alarm

It seems you have a choice to make

The shell is white and yours to break

Either way, it's just as well

All I need's a promise I can keep to myself

They live with their lovers

Who all talk aloud in their sleep

Driftin' off into Dreamland

Never as quiet as they seem to be

I know those mornings

Are as good as it ever could be

Feeling our hearts a-beatin'

Tenderly, two against three

It seems you have a choice to make

The shell is white and yours to break

Either way, it's just as well

All I need's a promise I can keep to myself

I'm nowhere near you

Nowhere near where I should be

Feelin' our hearts a-beatin'

Tenderly, two against three
