about
Music for latch-key kids, mixed family children, former angst-ridden 14-year olds, and anyone who goes to more than two family Christmases. The world's first accordion pop song about divorce.
lyrics
I, I understand you
when your heart is
out of sort
we limp and trip the same
Oh, love we must be
children of divorce
Two, two beds
two, two sets of clothes
two, two birthdays
two, two home phones
too, too much, too much, too many
deep talks
two, two heads
too much attention to my thoughts
(I don’t want a counselor)
The two of us,
you and I
I know you lived through this too
Too, too many all at once
that’s why we do what we do
Children of two homes
have a tendency to be
sentimental about true love
Children of two homes
have a tendency to be
pretty happy living out of a duffle bag
Children of two homes
have a tendency to know about guilt
Yeah we know how to work each other over
but we try not to take advantage of it
Two, two separate kitchens
Two, two separate chefs
Two, two sets of rules
Two, two separate pets
too, too much, too much, too many
many dark thoughts
Two, to sides to it all
I just want to walk
The two of us,
you and I
I know you lived through this too
Too, too many all at once
that’s why we do what we do
Children of two homes
have a tendency to be
better looking
Children of two homes
have a tendency to
let the dark side in
Children of two homes
have a tendency
to wish things worked out in the end
Yeah we know how to shout it out
and we shout it out again and again
