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
