Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In two more years, my sweetheart
We will see another view
Just longing for the past
For such completion
What was once golden
Has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence
[Verse 2]
They say, be brave
There's a right way and a wrong way
This pain won't last forever
This pain won't last forever
[Verse 3]
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold on
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold on
[Verse 4]
You've cried enough this lifetime
My beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea, to drown a beacon
To start anew all over
Remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over
More enlightened
[Verse 5]
I know, my love
This is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last forever
This pain won't last forever
[Verse 6]
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold on
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold on
[Verse 7]
You don't need to find answers (Two more years)
For questions never asked of you (Two more years)
You don't need to find answers (Two more years, so hold on)
[Verse 8]
You don't need to find answers (Two more years)
For questions never asked of you (Two more years)
You don't need to find answers (Two more years, so hold on)
[Verse 9]
Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms
[Verse 10]
I've become crueler (Dead weights, balloons)
Since I met you (Drag me to you)
I've become rougher (Dead weights, balloons)
This world is killing me
[Verse 11]
And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis (Two more years)
We tell lies to our parents, who hide in their rooms
(Two more years, so hold on)
We bury our secrets in the garden
[Verse 12]
Of course we could never make this love last (Two more years)
I said, of course we could never make this love last (Two more years)
We only love we know is love for ourselves
(Two more years, so hold on)
We bury our secrets in the garden
