Two and Two Made Five
Unraveling Regrets: Ned's Atomic Dustbin's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
More by chance then planned
Acting or happening more by chance than by deliberate planning
I've finally thrown some light
I've shed some light or gained some understanding on a situation
I won't make that stand, I won't ask you why
I won't take a firm position, won't inquire about reasons
I just hope you know, now, I'm still as stupid, still as blind
I hope you realize I'm still ignorant and oblivious despite the situation
If you don't hear forgiveness, watch my mouth
If you don't perceive my forgiveness verbally, observe my actions
I know all this adds up, I just don't know how
I understand the situation logically but don't comprehend emotionally
If you don't have the will to breathe
If you lack the determination to continue living
Better start now, better start now
You should start having the will to live immediately
I know what's all washed up will all wash out
What's ruined or failed will eventually fade away
More by luck than judgment, seems we've kept acquainted
Luck played a bigger role than judgment in our continued association
Always absent, never present, must have tried your patience
Always absent, never truly there, must have tested your patience
I just take your best intentions and complicate them
I tend to complicate your well-intentioned gestures
If you don't hear forgiveness, watch my mouth
If my forgiveness isn't explicit, pay attention to my words
I know this all adds up, I just don't know how
I grasp the situation intellectually but not emotionally
If you don't have the will to breathe
If you lack the motivation to carry on
Better start now, better start now
You should start finding that motivation immediately
I know what's all washed up will all wash out
What's ended or failed will eventually fade away
Take your hands off her, why can't you tell?
Stop interfering with her, why can't you see?
You know and I know
You and I both understand
You only try to console yourself
You only try to comfort yourself
Please don't touch her that's enough now
Stop touching her, it's sufficient now
She knows you too well
She's familiar with you very well
Don't ask her to sympathize, not now
Don't ask her to sympathize, not in this moment
Not now, not now, not now, no
Not in this moment, not now, absolutely not now
