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 gray
I've become crueler in your presenceThey say, "Be brave, there's a right way and a wrong way"
This pain won't last forever, this pain won't last foreverTwo more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold onTwo more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold onYou'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 enlightenedI know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last forever, this pain won't last foreverTwo more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold onTwo more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, so hold onYou don't need to find answers
For questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answersYou don't need to find answers
For questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answersDead weights, balloons, drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons, to sleep in your armsI've become crueler since I met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing meAnd we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis
We tell lies to our parents, we hide in their rooms
We bury our secrets in the gardenOf 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
