Two More Years Lyrics

Performed by Bloc Party

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence

They say: "be brave, there's a right way in a wrong way"
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on
X2

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years...

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers
x2

Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms

I've become crueler since I met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing me

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis
We tell lies to our parents, who hide in their rooms
We bury our secrets in the garden
Of course we could never make this love last
I said of course we could never make this love last
The only love we know is love for ourselves
We bury our secrets in the garden

Two More Years | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/20/11

This song is about break up... It takes two years to get over someone you love, you feel like you will never get over them, your pain will last forever. the next time you see them again (tomorrow) you will become cruel in their presence, because you don't want the old feeling to come back again and haunt you, you don't want to be hurt again -- Shade of grey is sadness

sad | Reviewer: Brook | 9/19/10

this song describes me and my boyfriend so perfectly it scares me. We're both sophomores in high school and we only have to wait two more years before we can actually be together. My parents hate him, so I've been lying to them about him. And we snuck out to a park in the middle of the night once to be together. Enduring this kills my heart and the only way I deal with stress is by cutting my arm. I have many scars on my arm from cutting... My boyfriend told me that having to deal with this crap from my parents has made him harder...he said he was emotionally numb. He's always so upset because he thinks he's ruined my life... :C He tells me that he's caused me enough tears. But I keep thinking...just two more years and we'll be out of high school and we can be together.

love is a killer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/2/09

I think the guy went to prison (what was golden now is grey) for killing someone who hurt the person he loved. he buried the body in the garden. hes got 2 more years in jail. the girl brought out a side in him that made him cruel. thats love.
yeah?

well i think a song means what we want it to. in my opinion it means we sometimes we get confused and think we love someone so much, and we suffer and stuff, but if we relax and wait a little bit we'll see everything ends at last. sometimes we get confused with our feelings and misunderstand them, and we just have to wait and see how it goes

Depression & Love Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/24/09

I think it's about definately about separation between lovers...... I think it's about waiting....a long distance relationship.....till they can be together....but in the process one partner is starting to deteriorate (perhaps damaging themselves), causing pain to the other partner.....

That's what I think.....great lyrics yet again by Kele...he really knows how to capture a moment.

It's funny cos my boyfriend is overseas at the moment and it's very difficult this long distance thing but this song helps a lot...

I love ya Kele xx

whoops | Reviewer: val kilmer | 8/11/09

when i first listen to this song i thought of someone waiting for their sweetheart to get back from somewhere like war, but - whoops.
Yeah it is about being a teenager and needing to make it as an adult, but there's also hints at a long-lasting friendship that's going to the gutter because of life's changes as they grow up.
"I've become crueler since i met you,
I've become rougher, this world is killing me."
One is changing and becoming tougher or colder and the other seems to be the same. It's one of the crueler parts of growing up.

just me and my perspective | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/10/08

two more years is the hopeful amount of time it will take to recover from this heart ache....lust and love propelled things that should have never been....left with just shatters of your own heart two more years are the minimum length to forget, being in such scarlet love such fierce lust you become drenched in constant distraction..essentially using every person to approach you to step away from the one you still can see in your memory...nothing can phase you anymore nothing can make you forget, two more years, you know that might be enough time from now...even though it has already been one..memories so distant lack accuracy your intoxication with the theory drags you to the same place over and over, without anyone still standing there, you know in one word, one signal you'd return...your disguise of armor and shield only fool you - we are all wounded...but only few know few...a garden isn't a place to rid of things for ever it is a place to put something for a period of time hoping soon it may re birth itself...altering the meaning of two more years, meaning maybe thats the time to return mutually...

Polar bears | Reviewer: 123 | 10/1/08

I thin Kele was really worried about Global warming when he wrote this because he is talking to the polar bears that are going to die becuase the ice melting and stuff, ok Im just kidding
I think this song is about accepting what has happened on a current time and knowing that in some time "two more years" you will be mature enough or more enlightened like the song says to take it or to cpmprehend why it happened

Its about me and my boyfriend........ | Reviewer: Freaked Out Fan ;-) | 7/2/08

Well, I heard this song first a while ago, but I didn't really listen to the lyrics. I did recently and I think it really relates to us. See, in two more years, I will be old enough to do lots of things I'm not old enough now.

We told lies to our parents, then we buried our letters in the garden.

I got in trouble a few weeks ago, and my parents said why couldn't you wait two more years.

We said we would stay together and fight for our relationship. We know it will be fine in two more years because I will be able to move in with him.
Here's the freaky thing.... My nickname for my boyfriend is polar bear.

I know it sounds like I'm making this up, but I'm telling the whole truth.

Why would I lie to strangers on a Bloc Party lyrics comments box??

my view | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/31/08

Sounds like the awaited end of a life transition- whether it be college, military, jail, whatever! It's broad and ambiguous enough for anyone to relate, which makes it great. And most importantly it is a song of hope, for later love and progress.
