“Two Kids” is a song about growing up leaving behind most of the things we used to love. In an Interview with KSXU Laura describes the song as “a pure, naïve side of love,” in reference to the two characters portrayed in the song.
The “two kids” in the song realize how hard love is to maintain, even...
Two kids, no tricks, only rich in time
Saying "Never look back
Throw out every sorrow we've had."
Sneak a move, trade a roof for the open sky
Living on luck
Tethering our hopes to a pickup truck
[Chorus]
They'll tell us, honey
"You've gotta know, you've gotta know where you're going."

Loose hands, slow dance under crooked stars

"You better fear, you better fear it all."
But you are my sun, my northern lights, my southern cross
If we're gonna die young
We're gonna die with a love song in our mouths
And maybe my darling
There's more than following an endless road
And maybe someday we're gonna trade
Our freedom for a better home
For a house and a yard, and a son and a daughter
And a steady job, but not today
Two kids, no tricks, only rich in time
Never look back, follow every moment we've got
