[Verse 1]
It's been a minute since I called you
Just to hear the answerphone
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories playing through my head
You'll never know how much I miss you
The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead
[Pre-Chorus]
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away
[Chorus]
So I will keep you, day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
[Verse 2]
I can feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every mirror
I know you'll be waiting, I'll see you again
[Pre-Chorus]
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away (Fade away)
[Chorus]
So I will keep you, day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
[Bridge]
I promised you I'd do this
So all of this is all for you
Oh, I swear to God you're living
Through everything I'll ever do
[Chorus]
So I will keep you, day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favourite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
[Post-Chorus]
One life for the two of us
I'll be living one life for the two of us
[Outro]
We'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I will hold you where my heart is
One life for the two of us
Two of Us was written by Bryn Christopher & Andrew Jackson & Duck Blackwell & Louis Tomlinson.
Two of Us was produced by Duck Blackwell & Dan Priddy & Mark Crew.
Louis Tomlinson released Two of Us on Thu Mar 07 2019.
I think with a sentiment like this, the concept of the song, it needs to be simple, and beautiful, and honest, really. So from, the production side of things, we kind of wanted to go for a really organic approach to it to not overcomplicate it or cheapen it.
I think [the song] is powerful. I also d...
