Two Towns From Me Lyrics
Remember the world
Livin' in the half
That you cannot see
Been walking a line
The thinning tide
And stepping in too deep
Watching water thread my sleeves
What'd I pull from underneath
Tie it down
Wait it out
Hope our memories hold
Lead white nail
Driven down
A hundred years ago
Feelin' wheels on my old road
Feelin' bad for what I sold
I had a dream you were two towns from me
Got to sleep, spent the whole night running
Dive in both
Wet their breath
And live in between
Hollow bones
Knowing both
What they want and what they need
How I want that mystery
Let me dive ‘till I believe
I had a dream you were two towns from me
Got to sleep, spent the whole night, whole night
Had a dream we were nothing more than
Caught up in our own lives, Honey
Livin' in the half
That you cannot see
Been walking a line
The thinning tide
And stepping in too deep
Watching water thread my sleeves
What'd I pull from underneath
Tie it down
Wait it out
Hope our memories hold
Lead white nail
Driven down
A hundred years ago
Feelin' wheels on my old road
Feelin' bad for what I sold
I had a dream you were two towns from me
Got to sleep, spent the whole night running
Dive in both
Wet their breath
And live in between
Hollow bones
Knowing both
What they want and what they need
How I want that mystery
Let me dive ‘till I believe
I had a dream you were two towns from me
Got to sleep, spent the whole night, whole night
Had a dream we were nothing more than
Caught up in our own lives, Honey

The meaning of this is pretty simple. The person is away from the person they love and are remembering and missing them, and dreaming of ways to get back to that person which would be" I had a dream you were two towns from me Got to sleep, spent the whole night running".
Atleast thats what I think.
"I had a dream you were two towns from me Got to sleep, spent the whole night running"
Do you think he is running away from her or to her?

A beautiful song. All the songs on their first album were/are great. He's running toward her. And his vocals in this track are perfect. It's such a romantic tune.
8 comments? Apparently not enough people have heard such a great album...not one bad track on it. The vocals are so incredibly special (like Keane's, but more humble). A song about dreaming...and good dreams obviously.
I think "the world living in the half you cannot see" could refer both to the ocean (as opposed to the land) and the world of sleep/dreams (as opposed to waking life). Lovely little metaphor, gives context to all the ocean imagery.
