“Two Times” is the second single off of Blondshell’s upcoming sophomore album, If You Asked For A Picture.
In an email, Blondshell said,
The song is about trying to figure out how much conflict is necessary for a relationship to be meaningful. I’ve spent my whole life seeing relationships in TV an...
[Verse 1]
I’m not free to break your heart
'Cause I love you, I love you
I’m not good at songs when you’re around
'Cause I love you, I love you
You’d be a good dad
You carried me to the bed
You carried me to the car
When I got sick
[Pre-Chorus]
What the hell is wrong
With my head
Sometimes it feels like you’re not enough
'Cause you’re not self centered
[Chorus]
How bad does it have to hurt to count?
Does it have to hurt at all?
I’ll come back if you put me down two times
You try hard to make me yours
But once you get me, I get bored
I’ll come back if you put me down two times
[Verse 2]
You’re not bad
You’re not mean
You lie about my hair
‘Cause you love me
[Pre-Chorus]
What the hell is wrong
With my head
Sometimes it feels like you’re not enough
Put the girls on house arrest
[Chorus]
How bad does it have to hurt to count?
Does it have to hurt at all?
I’ll come back if you put me down two times
You try hard to make me yours
But once you get me, I get bored
I’ll come back if you put me down two times
[Bridge]
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know know know know know
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know wanna know wanna know
I wanna know
[Chorus]
How bad does it have to hurt to count?
I’ll come back if you put me down
You try hard to make me yours
But once you get me, I get bored
Bad does it have to hurt to count
I’ll come back if you put me down
You try hard to make me yours
But once you get me I get bored
[Outro]
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know know know know know
I wanna know know know know
I wanna know wanna know wanna know
I wanna know
Two Times was written by Baum & Sam Stewart.
Two Times was produced by Yves Rothman.
Blondshell released Two Times on Thu Feb 20 2025.
I was thinking of The Sundays, Cocteau Twins, and The Cranberries. This is another song with questions in the chorus. How difficult does a relationship have to be for it to be meaningful? We see movies and media where conflict is the only way love and relationships are reflected—through stories wher...
