Two More Years lyrics - Bloc Party

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view

Such 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

They say "be brave, there's a right way in a wrong way"

This pain won't last forever, this pain won't last forever

[Chorus:]

Two more years, there's only two more years

Two more years, there's only two more years

Two more years so hold on [x2]

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

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

[Chorus]

(You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you

You don't need to find answers) [x2]

Dead weights, balloons

Drag me to you (I've become crueler since I met you)

Dead weights, balloons

To sleep in your arms (I've become rougher, this world is killing me)

[Chorus]

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles

And we try to remember our alibis

We tell lies to our parents, who hide in their rooms

We bury our secrets in the garden

Of course we could never make this love last

I said of course we could never make this love last

The only love we know is love for ourselves

We bury our secrets in the garden
