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 
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, there's only two more years 
Two more years, there's only two more years 
Two more years so hold on 
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 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 
I've 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
