2NU — Two Outta Three lyrics

Lyrics

THERE WAS A HUMMINGBIRD JUST OUTSIDE THE GLASS THAT
SEPARATED US FROM THE RAIN. HE LOOKED IN FOR JUST A MOMENT… AND THEN FLEW AWAY… I COULDN’T HELP THINKING
HOW SIMPLE HIS LIFE MUST BE.
WE SAT QUIETLY IN THE WARM SWIRLING BUBBLES… I DON’T
THINK I COULD HAVE LOVED HER MORE. THEN AT THAT VERY
MOMENT… THERE WAS THIS LITTLE BEAD OF WATER THAT WAS
MAKING IT’S WAY DOWN HER LONG, SILKY, WET HAIR… AND I SAID TO MYSELF… IF I CAN COUNT TO TEN… BEFORE IT
DROPS… SHE'LL LOVE ME FOREVER. I BARELY GOT TO
SEVEN… BEFORE IT FELL LIKE A ROCK… AND RAN SLOWLY
DOWN OVER HER BARE SHOULDERS… AND DISAPPEARED INTO
THE BUBBLES AGAIN.
TWO OUTTA THREE
I MUST HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT HER FOR A LONG
TIME… BEFORE I REALIZED SHE WAS LOOKING BACK… AND
THAT DAY IN THE RAIN WAS A MILLION MEMORIES AGO.
THE CAFE WAS GETTING NOISIER. THE COFFEE WAS GETTING
COLDER… AND FINALLY, SHE BEGAN TO EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS
OVER. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING… I WAS WATCHING HER TALK… BUT I COULDN’T HEAR THE
WORDS… IWAS DYING INSIDE… AND SHE NEVER LOOKED MORE
BEAUTIFUL. EVEN AFTER SHE WAS GONE… I COULD STILL
SMELL HER PERFUME. I ALWAYS WOULD.
ANOTHER TIME. ANOTHER PLACE.
WAS IT LOVE. AND NOT A WASTE.
I DIDN’T KNOW THEN. IT WASN’T TO BE.
YOU SHOULD’VE GONE. TWO OUTTA THREE.
I GOT UP TO LEAVE… AND STEPPED OUT INTO THE
RAIN… STUCK MY HAND IN MY COAT POCKET AND PULLED OUT
THE ROSE I HAD MEANT TO GIVE HER. THE WILTED PETALS
FELL TO THE GROUND… AND I COUNTED THEM OUT… STILL
TRYING TO BEATTHE ODDS… SHE LOVES ME… SHE LOVES ME
NOT. TWO OUTTA THREE.
ANOTHER TIME. ANOTHER PLACE.
WAS IT LOVE. AND NOT A WASTE.
I DIDN’T KNOW THEN. IT WASN’T TO BE.
YOU SHOULD’VE GONE. TWO OUTTA THREE.
