The Two of Us Lyrics

Now, we're happy to sit,
Day after day The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There's a reason to stay together

Now, we're happy to sit,
Night after night The two of us
Convinced that it's right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together

Afraid we'd always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care

And now, it's almost enough,
Year after year The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives

Cover art for The Two of Us lyrics by Barry Manilow

I really love this song. It reminds me of being with someone or trying to be with someone and knowing that it will soon end or it wont last, not because you don't want it to but because theres a lot of factors that would cause for needing to let go of that person. I also believe that this song shows the awareness these two people have in their relationship, or how aware the speaker is, aware of the end of the relationship or something like that. The 3rd section of the song entails the need to be loved and being afraid that there will never be someone else so you almost settle for this person, its not that you dont love them but you know deep down its not meant to me and its almost like your performing in order to feel loved and give love.
