The Ballad of Two Lovers

[Vs] Fighting with you on the street

There’s snow soaking into my shoes

I’m colder than hell, can’t we fold into ourselves

Like real grown-ups do

What do you want me to say

Mouth out the words in a reckoning silence

How can I say it to make you believe

I’m not trying to test out your faith

[Chorus] I’m just trying to pretend

I’m fighting with you and not your ghost

A dear old friend

Not someone I don’t know anymore

Don’t let me believe I don’t know you anymore

Anymore

[Vs] I don’t think that it’s me

You’re really angry with here

It’s the system that told you you could have everything

For the price of your years

Are you sleeping well through the night

Or do you hold your breath when your mind starts working up

Dreams of machines, who can say what that means

Keep the doors locked and close all the blinds

Keep the doors locked and close all the blinds

[Ch] And just try to pretend

You’re fighting with me and not my ghost

A dear old friend

I wanna believe that you know me best and you know me most of all

We can be those lovers

When love feels right but right now

We still love one another

Though we can’t say why

[Vs] I don’t need to know all the answers

I just need to know you still want me around

Doubt’s grown in you like a terrible cancer

Tell me what that’s all about

I still have faith in this life

I still believe that your touch means something

We can be those two lovers

Who love one another

Though right now we can’t say why

We can be those two lovers

Who love one another

Though right now we can’t say why
