2 Atoms in a Molecule Lyrics
Last night, I had a dream
We were inseparably entwined
Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine
Held together, holding each other
With no one else in mind
Like two atoms in a molecule
Inseparably combined
But then I woke from the dream
To realize I was alone
A tragic event, I must admit
But let's not be overblown
I'm not trying to write a love song
Just a sad, pathetic moan
And maybe I just need change
Maybe I just need a new cologne
But now I look at love
Like being stabbed in the heart
You torture each other from day to day
And then one day you part
Most of the time it's misery
But there's some joy at the start
And for that, I'd say it's worth it
Just as you play the shortest sharp on me
And if love is just a game
Then how come it's no fun?
If love is just a game
How come I've never won?
I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong
And that's why every time I roll the dice
I always come undone
We were inseparably entwined
Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine
Held together, holding each other
With no one else in mind
Like two atoms in a molecule
Inseparably combined
To realize I was alone
A tragic event, I must admit
But let's not be overblown
I'm not trying to write a love song
Just a sad, pathetic moan
And maybe I just need change
Maybe I just need a new cologne
Like being stabbed in the heart
You torture each other from day to day
And then one day you part
Most of the time it's misery
But there's some joy at the start
And for that, I'd say it's worth it
Just as you play the shortest sharp on me
Then how come it's no fun?
If love is just a game
How come I've never won?
I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong
And that's why every time I roll the dice
I always come undone

I'm gonna try to ride a love song
Surely it's "I'm gonna try to WRITE a love song"
I could be wrong, but that just amkes somuch more sense... how can yu ride a song anyway?
I'm halfway through the album... which is just an extender version of their EP which is a bit gutting, and of the 3 songs that wern't on the EP thatI've listened to as of yet, this is the only one that compares to the EP songs.
I'm talking 5YT, Jocasta, etc.
DWYD and Second Lover don't quite meet the standard set by these tracks. This song's lovely but
this song reminds me of this torrential northern downpour i experienced once. it was pretty odd. we don't get much rain in avalon.
is this a refference to the Panic at the disco album pretty.odd. that has the song northern downpour on it!?!?

I thought it was "I'm not trying to write a love song, just a sad pathetic moan"? Or am I just insanely mishearing the lyrics?
No I agree thats what it sounds like hes saying. and plus he just finishes saying "...but let's not be overblown" ... so that would make more sense anyways

@skribbelgrl That is certainly what he says, it makes the following line make sense, "I'm not trying trying to write a love song, just a sad, pathetic moan"

"I look at love Like being stabbed in the heart You torture each other from day to day And then one day you part"
ahahah, that part right there, so true. i love this song.
isn't it "and for that i'd say it's worth it, just use a blade that's short and sharp on me"? haha at least that's what i thought it was. this is such, such, such a good song! obvioiusly it's about someone being unlucky in love, but they still have hope that one day it will work out. and i think we can all kind of relate to that.
@BananaBabe834 "and for that i'd say it's worth it, just use a blade that's short and sharp on me" I think you're right. That one line add a lot to the song. Seven years later... :)

It's for sure "I'm not trying to write a love song, just a sad pathetic moan..."
this is one of the most amazing songs of all time.
yeah although riding a love song would be quite interesting its clearly "I'm gonna try to write a love song"
great song...one of the best on the album
yeah it was a typo i just never noticed.
ah this song is so catchy i heard it on the plane once,and i couldn remember who sung it but now i found it! XD
