When 1 wants to be 2

I used to be a stranger

Then I became a friend

We used to be so mixed up

Then we became a blend

I used to envision liquid words

That poured into her heart

But she delivered quicker verbs

That motioned me to start

She let me know her foolishness

I let her know mine too

Now we’re in the thick of love

And things ain’t so green and blue

But she says

When 1 wants to be 2

I think of you

When the sun in 2

Is done

I’ll hold your hand and we’ll walk back to one

It used to be so simple

Now it’s incomplete

I want to be close to her you see

But pain shackles my feet

We used to be so forgetful

But now we remember all the time

And if our hearts lived like cats

This would be life number nine

They say nobody’s blameless

In these shameless, times ?

See I’m nobody and I’m nameless

When she’s swimming in my mind

When 1 wants to be 2

I think of you

When the sun in 2 is done

I’ll hold your hand and we’ll walk back to 1
