Jinx & Loose – Two Remain lyrics

We get recognized everywhere we go
And the people always smile
Home alone, or out on the road
You can measure a life in miles
They know us better than we know ourselves
And we're not allowed to forget
They all look different but they talk the same
And we're not allowed to die yet.

But the money comes, and it follows the sun
With a snowstorm close behind
By the time it's all blown over
It's kinda blown our minds
They're picking us off like snipers
On a mountain high above
And we fall away, one by one
They're killing us with love.

Now just two remain
Like a midnight train
Like a jet plane
Running out of gas above the sea
They can't get by
Although they try
They don't ask why
They crash again and again and again.

Six years later, it's a crying shame
But we just can't stand each other
Nobody knows just who's to blame
We used to be like brothers
They tried to lock us in the past
But it just sped up the end
Now he's saying things about me
And he used to be my friend.

Just two remain
Like a midnight train
Like a jet plane
Running out of gas above the sea
They can't get by
Although they try
They don't ask why
They crash again and again and again.

I don't think about the golden years
It just makes me feel old
Although that cloud had a silver lining
It never matched up to the gold
Golden records, golden stars
Banks all full of solid gold bars
Golden hair, golden cars
Gold chains keep us who we are.

Only two remain
Like a midnight train
Like a jet plane
Running out of gas above the sea
They can't get by
Although they try
They don't ask why
They crash again and again and again.
