Two Left Feet
Dancing Through Heartbreak: Two Left Feet by Anya Marina Unveiled
Lyrics
You retreat, I advance
You withdraw, and I move forward
You cry on graves, while I dance
You express sorrow at graves, while I engage in joyful dancing
You will ebb, and I will flow
You will decline or diminish, and I will prosper or thrive
I'm so sure about you, you don't know
I am very certain about you, but you are unaware of it
The more I love you, the more you stray
The more affection I show you, the more you deviate or wander
The more I leave you, the more you come for me
The more I distance myself from you, the more you seek me
Dance like this, dance like that
Dance in different styles, be unpredictable
Love me, love me, love me like a baseball bat
Love me intensely, passionately, like a forceful impact
But the music sounds so sweet
The music is delightful
The music comes so easy, easy
Creating music comes effortlessly
Why can't we?
Expressing a desire for harmony
C'mon, count me in. (two, three)
Join in, participate in the music (counting off)
C'mon, let's play it again
Let's repeat the experience, play the music again
Now I retreat, you advance
Now I withdraw, and you move forward
Goddamn this goddamn dance
Expressing frustration or annoyance with a dance
Lover, how I miss you so
Addressing a lover, expressing longing
Oh, I wish I never would've let you go
Regretting letting the lover go
I wish I never would've let you go
Repeating regret over letting the lover go
"what do you want," he said all coy,
Quoting a question about desires, possibly in a flirtatious manner
"some kind of boy toy? some kind of boy toy?"
Repeating a question about being a plaything
Two broken birds, you say, we're two left feet
Describing a relationship as flawed or dysfunctional
Now take your coat off and make a mess of me
Inviting intimacy, suggesting vulnerability
So I've got a broken heart
Acknowledging a broken heart
So what, it's a heart you could start
Asserting that a broken heart is still capable of love
Yeah, it's a heart you could start
Emphasizing the potential for emotional healing
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Commanding someone to be silent
