about

A song of co-dependence with a realisation that one doesn't want to be lonely

lyrics

We share a name, we share a car, one day we'll share a house
If we both liked the same food, we could share a mouth
The idea might sound strange to you but if I had a choice
I wouldn't need to hear a thing if you didn't have a voice

Our friends say we're identical and we both know it's true
I spend so much time with you that I kind of hope I die before you do

Some people think it's morbid but I think that it's sweet
I hope I love you half as much as I know you love me
and I would cry if you did die before I died
so please don't die before I do
I kind of hope I die before you

Our friends say we're identical and we both know it's true
I spend so much time with you that I kind of hope I die before you do

No I wouldn't change one minute of this
If we could find a way, we'd be connected at the hips
If you got old and tired, I would carry you
I spend so much time with you that I kind of hope I die before you do

I would cry if you did die before I died
so please don't die before I do
I kind of hope I die before you
