Jackson Browne - Two Of Me, Two Of You Lyrics






There are two of me
And two of you
Two who have betrayed love
And two who have been true
And together we went crashing through
Every bond and vow and faith we knew
Me and the fool I've been
And the two of you

Of the two of me
One always knew
That I would always love you
Whatever you might do
And the more unfree and troubled you grew
I could feel the whole world splitting in two
Trying to make the room
For the two of you

So like a fragile little child
More than a little lost and wild
How the light would leave the sky when you cried
And returned again when you smiled
And how the light would invade and divide
The darkness I have inside

There were two of me
And two of you
Searching for a passageway
Hidden from our view
And together we went crashing through
Every bond and vow and faith we knew
Me and the fool I've been
And the two of you

Jackson Browne Two Of Me, Two Of You Comments
  1. B.... S....

    One of his best and most underrated songs. He just captures that empty feeling of loss so authentically when wisdom is gained at the expense of love.

    B.... S....

    I'm going to borrow that last sentence.

  2. P.... P....

    I love, love, love this song. I played it on repeat for long periods when I'm Alive came out as I was in the throes of a divorce at the time.

    That said, I find the audience standing around him kinda odd and almost creepy.

  3. c.... n....

    Brilliant tune ❤️

  4. P.... T....

    not many songs make me cry, this is one of two or three.... legend JB , thank you for shaping my life with music

  5. S.... C....

    What's your point of going there, really. I will be alright after the biggest shock in my system, but I remember how my family squashed my dreams. Why.

  6. S.... C....

    For the first time, I truly understand this song,clyde

  7. D.... ....

  8. S.... C....

    I love your style... heartfelt, words. Image of true love in it's fullest

  9. S.... C....

    I would always love you, whatever you might do.

  10. S.... C....

    I know now, how I hurt you so. I'm so sorry

  11. M.... R....

    I discovered this song during the last few months of the run-up to my wedding (11-Apr-'98) a strange time, a fledgling business to nurture, an old lifestyle I did NOT want to leave, terrified of wat sort of husband I'd be. (pretty crappily average as it turns out!!!) But nevertheless, here I am, listening to this record which inspired me to go for it, on a quiet, sunny day off in England, (16-mar-2018) less than a month from my twentieth anniversary, thinkin... FUCK! I'M TIRED!!!

  12. C.... U....

    the poet simply,,,

  13. S.... Y....

    One of his best (and most underrated) songs. His lyrical skill is unparalleled.

  14. D.... D....

    i love him, the way he words things, it touches my soul

  15. l.... c....

    I'M ALIVE

  16. N.... A....

    I love watching him sing.

    N.... A....

    I agree

  17. S.... ....

    Darryl Hannah

    S.... ....

    Yes, Darryl Hanna, Jackson, and JFK Jr... When Jackson and Darryl were going through trials and she started seeing John.

  18. M.... ....

    This performance is beautiful and heartfelt.  When I listen to JB, there are so many songs in which I feel he is exposing a big piece of himself.....of his personal life.  He then puts those feelings down in  poetic and profound  words and the music equals the beauty of the lyrics.   I think it's those of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves, who are moved and  touched the deepest by his music because I believe that's where he writes them from.

    @MissDistarr60
    In addition, may be unwise to respond to self admitted Assholes. The web is getting stranger and stranger these days. I don't want to have to start referring to you as "O loquacious and Naive One". Really don't. But will...

    M.... ....

    @greasegun49 I will do my best to refrain.  Thank you for looking after my best interest. You are a good friend to me and I appreciate you.  Please know that. 

    M.... ....

    @MissDistarr60
    I know that...Ditto. Be careful out there.

    M.... ....

    I couldn't agree more, I think he is one of our best singer/songwriter of all time.

    M.... ....

    If I could ask Jackson Browne one thing, it'd be how he manages to be so personal and so universal at the same time. He's clearly singing about something deeply personal, and yet everyone can identify with it. That's magic.

  19. R.... G....

    This song describes every relationship I've ever been in. Leave it to Jackson to lay it  out so simply when things are so complex. It would be a different world without him.

  20. J.... B....

    I just saw Jackson Browne last month and I am going to always remember every moment of that show. I was fortunate enough to get front row seats and I was amazed how much he loves to perform after all these years. And when he played Looking East, I got chills. It was like being in a flash back.

  21. N.... K....

    This performance gives me chills. His lyrics touch me deeper than any other songwriter's. And his voice is so pure and simple and beautiful. The melodies themselves are profound and original, but with that same simplicity. There's nothing can be improved on ever in my opinion. As a singer, it has been my lifelong dream just to sing background vocals for him.

  22. 1.... ....

    genius .

  23. J.... G....

    No truer words ever said! chacka69

  24. M.... ....

    I feel the same. however, I'm starting to wonder about getting stuck in a sad place. Just saying. I've been listening to dave Matthews. It's good, I like a fiddle.

  25. H.... B....

    This man has never written or performed a bad song. He's amazing, if you don't get him, you just don't get it.

  26. c.... ....

    His songs are so honest and introspective, and so often reflect what I'm feeling. He's not afraid to look at, assess and put into words what makes him what he is as a human being. He often questions things he's done, which shows me that ego doesn't stand in the way of his true character (which in my opinion is beautiful). Thank you for the upload.

  27. D.... L....

    u r soooo right. i do feel his songs like no other artist. he can actually make my heart positively ache. perhaps he truly is a prophet. :)

  28. m.... ....

    I will forever be thankful that a friend in the late 70's gave me a JB album thinking I might like his music! Man was he right!! I also have every LP, 8-track, cassette and CD he has ever made. Each song holds a special meaning from another place and time.

  29. a.... s....

    Never more true words spoken. THANKS JACKSON Still LOVE YOU TERRI FAULKNERAL

  30. S.... G....

    Love this song. My husband & I would listen to this song lying on the floor, in the dark, in front of our stereo. Whenever I hear this song it always makes me smile.

  39. w.... ....

    Jackson Browne has been apart of my life since I was 8yrs old. I am now 44 and I never get over how he makes me feel with his words and his voice that sings to my being. I adore him and little does he know that he is such a huge part of my life and he always will be. Thank You Jackson for giving me (us) the beauty of your voice and the hurt and love in your heart. Endlessly Grateful.

  40. D.... ....

    Still has an incredible voice after all these years. The bridge section of this song always gives me chills. Great lyrics.

  41. 4.... ....

    Browne is an amazing musician-it's a pity almost nobody's heard of him.
