All Things in 2's

from Meditations in an Emergency by Liz McBride!

/

lyrics

In the street-scene that is our lives, we swear off the other,
pretending neither’s a vice
I go on believing thinking that I’m through, then the night comes
and my thoughts are stuck on you…

You say the nicest things when you’re drunk, but by your actions,
it’s almost always bunk
I may try to hide it, but once I’m near you, common sense surrenders
and I’m left, spiraling down, asking…

[Chorus]
“Whisper in my ear, that’s what I want to hear.”
All things in 2’s, your words; it’s why I love you, dear.
And when the sun comes up, we’ll pretend we’re nothing
again.
This game we’re playing is nothing new, but the code of ethics
is definitely askew…
Fate gives us passes by shielding its eyes as we go on
wondering, “Where is my prize?”

Psychotherapy could settle me, but admitting my faults
results in apathy
To say that I don’t care where this goes is a lie—I’m holding out at the end
of all this just praying you’ll be mine! That’s why I’m asking…

[Chorus]
“Whisper in my ear, that’s what I want to hear.”
All things in 2’s, your words; it’s why I love you, dear.
And when the sun comes up, we’ll pretend we’re nothing
again.

[Bridge]
And when we say goodbye
I am thinking hello to this boy I know, who’s looking past my stare,
pretending not to care…

[Chorus]
“Whisper in my ear, it’s what I want to hear.”
All things in 2’s, your words; that’s why I love you near.
And when the sun comes up again, we’ll pretend that we’re nothing
more than friends.

Liz McBride! Youngstown, Ohio

"There are nightingales and nightingales. This one was a diva, a Callas. One would readily have disbursed a small fortune to hear her sing in a concert hall. Its tone, of an ineffable sweetness... Under a rich, deep, nocturnal sky, they would stand for an hour, hushed and spellbound, listening to the nightingale." ... more
