Bigger Than The Both Of Us Lyrics

I got a letter of love in an envelope


And sealed with the kiss of a tongue


You've been so glad for the time we spent together


You just couldn't help but resent me for the time I spent alone

I know that things are only new once

I know it's been two years
 and several months

And I know it might be getting old

Leaving a lover is like leaving home


Now you're leaving home

This thing's bigger than both of us

If I was a better man
I might have known by now


But I've been down so long
 that it don't bother me

When things go wrong
 I know it only means another song


To a dear old sweetheart
who will soon be gone


When things go wrong

We were exactly the same
 in different ways


The undisputed masters 
of the make-up break-up game


When this war is over
 and the borders are in place


I just hope we can agree
 on some kind of prisoner exchange

After the old regime collapses

After the flashbacks and relapses


It's not as if I need to settle the score

It just feels like I'm cutting
my own umbilical cord

This thing's bigger than the both of us


I don't know exactly how 
but we should have known by now


We've cared enough to get this far

It gets hard to believe
 that both of our hearts

Aren't pinned to our sleeves

Another song my sweetheart only means again you're gone

Cause things went wrong

I know that things are only new once

I know what I say doesn't mean much

I'm not gonna promise you domestic life

I just want to give it one last try

Cause I've been down so long
that it no longer bothers me


When things go wrong
I know that it can only mean


Another song
to a dear old sweetheart


Who will soon be gone
'cause things went wrong

So goes a story of love in a nutshell


Or at least as close as we'll come


And I guess that close will have to do


Once you're resigned to wait forever


Or at least until the next time

If there is a next time

This thing's bigger than the both of us


If I was a better man
I might have known by now

But I've been down so long that it don't bother me

I know that it can only mean
 another song

To a dear old sweetheart
who will soon be gone

Cause things went wrong
