Bloc Party - Two More Years

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 and a wrong way'

This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years, there's only two more years

Two more years, there's only two more years

Two more years so hold on

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 for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years...

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

You don't need to find answers

dead weights and balloons

drag me to you

dead weights and balloons

to sleep in your arms

i've become crueler since i met you

ive become rougher, this world is killing me

we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles

we try to remember our alibis

we tell lies to our parents he 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.
