In 2 Again
by: FarTo another, to anyone but me
It's so obvious, so painfully
And I worry that everyone but me
Will be laughing at something I didn't see
Anyone but me
Everyone but me
Everyone can see
Into another, in too deep
Like bees to flowers, sex to steal
And before ever will we be
In 2 again?
Into another, in too deep
Like bees to flowers, sex to steal
And before ever will we be
In 2 again? In 2 again, in 2 again
[Incomprehensible]
Praise the boy, he's a strong one
He can train the horse
Hitch the bit, pull it tighter
'Til he cries out
Other day, boy led the horse
Across the creek
Broke his leg, nearly drowned him
Now they're both no good
Take 'em out to the barn out back
Let the boy pull the trigger
Leave 'em both where you found 'em
