Living for Two

I'm living for two...
The life you could lead now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm seeing for two...
The sights you could see now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm crying for two...
The tears you would cry now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm laughing for two...
The fun you would have now if you
Hadn't jumped.


CHORUS:

Sometimes I blame myself that I've come back much too late
And yet I'm so glad there're still some things we can't manipulate...
Like Death. And Birth. And all that's in-between...


I'm loving for two...
The warmth you could feel now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm breathing for two...
The air you would breathe now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm learning for two...
The lessons you'd learn now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm singing for two...
The songs you would hear now if you
Hadn't jumped.

CHORUS:

We stand there helpless in the light of what we cannot mend
Yet I'm so glad there're still some things we
cannot understand...
Like Birth. And Death. And all that's in-between...







I'm writing for two...
The words you could write now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm dreaming for two...
The dreams you could dream now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm staying for two...
On the ground you would feel now if you
Hadn't jumped.

I'm fighting for two...
The darkness you could not see through
When you jumped...


CHORUS:

Sometimes I wonder do you see now what you could not see before?
Have you found the home that you've been always longing for?
