Breaking Us in Two
Breaking Out of Love's Chains
Lyrics
Don't you feel like trying something new
Expressing a desire for something new or different.
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
Contemplating the idea of breaking free or causing a rift in the relationship.
You don't do the things that I do
Noticing differences in actions and behaviors between partners.
You want to do the things I can't do
Highlighting the partner's desire to engage in activities that the speaker cannot participate in.
Always something breaking us in two
Emphasizing a persistent force or factor causing discord in the relationship.
You and I could never live alone
Acknowledging a mutual dependence, but questioning the possibility of independence.
But don't you feel like breaking out
Expressing a desire to break free for a short period.
Just one day on your own
Suggesting the idea of spending a day alone to experience independence.
Why does what I'm saying hurt you
Wondering why the speaker's words are causing pain.
I didn't say that we were through
Clarifying that the speaker did not imply a breakup despite the emotional impact.
Always something breaking us in two
Reiterating the presence of a persistent factor causing a rift in the relationship.
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
Referring to the conventional wisdom that two people in love should be united.
We'll fight it out to see it through
Expressing a commitment to overcoming challenges together.
I say that you won't bee too much fun for us
Suggesting that the partner may not be enjoyable or fulfilling for the speaker.
Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do
Recognizing the difficulty of following advice despite its appeal.
Could we be much closer if we tried
Questioning if increased effort could bring the couple closer.
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Suggesting an intimate moment at home to strengthen the connection.
Maybe we could last an hour
Speculating about the potential duration of an improved relationship.
Maybe then we'd see right through
Considering the possibility of seeing through superficial aspects of the relationship.
Always something breaking us in two
Repeating the theme of an ongoing force causing a division.
