Higgins, Missy - The Special Two Lyrics






I've hardly been outside my room in days,
'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
And it was then I realized the conscience never fades.

When you're young you have this image of your life,
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.

But I will fight for you,
Be sure that I will fight
Until we're the special two once again.

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another's,
'Cause we're the special two.

I remember someone old once said to me,
"That lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.

So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well, I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down
'Cause we were the special two, and we'll be again.

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
'Cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other we'll breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another's...
We're the special two.

I step outside my mind's eyes for a minute.
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease
Or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt, you, you bring on by yourself,
Just remembering, just remembering how we were...

When we would only need each other, we'd bleed together,
These hands would not be taught to hold another's,
We were the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together,
These arms would not be taught to need another's,
'Cause we're the special two.

  11. J.... L....

    Someone who was special to me for moments in time introduced me to this song 🥺

  12. C.... ....

    I first listened to Missy Higgins in 2004 when this album came out. Don’t Ever and Scar were always enjoyed by me and my father, but this one stuck out to me the most. He and I had a strained father/son relationship due to me being diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and this song helped us understand each other better.

    This was 15 years ago when I was 6 and he was 41. I’m nearly 22 and dad is turning 57 as of this post. Our bond is stronger than ever. Thank you Missy Higgins for the excellent songwriting.

  13. E.... K....

    This song was written for BNSF and I.

  14. A.... F....

    Who is she fighting for

    A.... F....

    I once read that she had an affair with her sister's partner, so its a song for her sister. But I don't have any sources on that.

    A.... F....

    @hildeaty thanks FYI

    A.... F....

    @hildeaty wikipedia agrees with you :-)

  15. N.... d....

    The dislikes are from ppl with bad eyesight or hearing

  16. J.... F....

    When this song came out, I knew there was something significant about it. Mind you, I was eight years old, and I only knew one third of the story

  17. P.... ....

    I hadn't thought about this son g for a while but for some reason it popped into my head today. Guess you always come back to really good music and this song is still beautiful.

  18. J.... I....

    My memory song of Australia where I spend time in 2004 the year I never forget. Hands-down best song 🥰

  19. B.... N....

    2019 and it’s still one of the most honest and lovely songs I’ve loved.

  20. T.... ....

    Struth🙌

  21. T.... ....

    Looking for the Mat✝️🚹

  22. j.... ....

    Powerful

  23. K.... B....

    You introduced me to this song. Powerful. Shame we’re not that special two anymore. I love and hate this song all at once now.

  24. M.... H....

    The highlight of Ed Sheeran's concert was Missy Higgins performing this song.

  25. o.... p....

    She needs only 1 album to be a legend..The Sound Of White is absolutely a masterpiece. Period!..

  26. S.... F....

    Damn, she took forever to zip and buckle her seatbelt lol
    Where is the millions of views?! this song is so powerful

  27. T.... C....

    Where is the millions of views?! this song is so powerful
    Really feeling this beautiful song today.

  28. C.... R....

    Did anyone here her perform live at the 2018 ed sheeran concert as the feature

  29. d.... l....

    Came here from Dear Seattle's cover on Triple J expecting pretty much nothing but I'm blown away. This is criminally underrated

    d.... l....

    I came here after that too, but it was a return trip after a long time away. What an incredible performance of an incredible song

    d.... l....

    Missy higgins is immortal in any Australians gaze since Scar and basically anything off The Sound Of White.

    d.... l....

    same!! Came from Dear Seattle and am blown away. SO good

    d.... l....

    Beat me to it dang

  30. M.... ....

    "I've hardly been outside my room in days, cos I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays"

    Fucking hell, I felt that in the centre of my soul.

  31. F.... J....

    She was only 22 when she made this.

  32. K.... P....

    Funny how a song can mean so different to others.. this song got me through my husbands death in 2007. I would sing this to him whilst he lay dying... But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight
    Until we're the special two once again
    And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together
    Our hands would not be taught to hold another's
    'Cause we're the special two
    And we can only see each other, we'll breathe together
    These arms will not be taught to need another's
    'Cause we're the special two..
    I miss him dearly..

  33. T.... B....

    Always loved this song but it breaks my heart since my wife left me

    T.... B....

    Hugs :)

    Can't stop listening to all these songs from my teens. Where did my life go? The nostalgia is real

  55. i.... t....

    “Nothing cures the hurt you bring on by yourself, just remembering, just remembering how we were”

    This song got me thru some dark days all those years ago.
    Missy met and married Dan.. guess her hands could be taught to hold another’s. The lyrics in this song still hold true for me tho😥

    i.... t....

    This isnt about love in that way. Its about her sister...

  56. T.... H....

    EVERYONE! SHE'S GOTTA NEW SONG AND A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT IN MAY 2018!!! :D TAKE A LISTEN TO HER BRAND NEW SINGLE!!! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XBGKAWmsEY

  57. T.... S....

    I die... but my Phoenix always comes back again.
    One and one only, it comes around I have found... once in a persons life.
    Journeys are exactly that.
    Walk the path that you choose and want.
    Just be who you are, peel back from the scars like opening a tomb and give all your crippling thoughts some air.

    Let your soul breathe and fucking grab hold!
    Rock Bottom exist to give you something to kick from.
    To push up and find that fight that you have buried and lost.
    Get hungry and get angry!!!
    I’m at the angry point again, young souls I have bore not allowed autonomy and rite and I have let that happen.

    Not playing the game no more, my boys and others need me.

  58. J.... M....

    Though words fail me Missy, my soul offers you thunderous cheers! I am so glad you came back to your music, and this song blew my mind when you first released it. Thank you for the inspiration and looking forward to what you do next!

  59. K.... L....

    After she left , this song jolted me like a bolt of lightning to remember if given another chance , to  keep my only real life true love a lot higher on lifes list of demanding priorities.

  60. c.... l....

    Missy has the emotional maturity and intellectual honesty in one so young as to suggest a savant.

  61. A.... Q....

    Not enough likes! Makes me angry. If she was American, she’d have more 😐

    A.... Q....

    Well, yeah. Most bigger music producers are American, and there's nothing wrong with that, so stop crying.

    Plus, you're Australian. You're just a more violent American.

    A.... Q....

    With an accent.

    A.... Q....

    @Illogical_914 Americans are just fatter English people

    A.... Q....

    This song breaks my heart.

  66. S.... M....

    This is so fucking powerful, you're amazing Missy.

  67. T.... ....

    In my mind this song is the embodiment of heartache, it so splendidly illuminates the subtle differences between heartbreak and heartache. This song makes me ache and yet its so perfect! What a talent Missy has!!

  68. B.... H....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️ our hands will not be taught to hold anothers...

  69. A.... A....

    a.... ....

    Peter Crowhurst Do Re Me Fa So. So is a level... one above Fa and one below La.

  75. A.... A....

    Girl I hope you find a lovely man who will always do the best by you and maybe one day make you that wife you sing about in the song:)

    A.... A....

    To bad she likes girls mate!!!

    A.... A....

    Adonaitsidkenu Adonaitsidkenu she already did, she's been married for years. her and her husband (or partner?) had a son last year.

    A.... A....

    she's married with a little boy and very happy

    A.... A....

    Lol she is gay

    A.... A....

    @Sarah Skelsey I thought she was too but she married a man in 2016 and has two kids by him. Maybe that means she's bi? Whatever her sexuality, she's a talented musician.

  76. B.... E....

    still SO proud of this song and this wonderful, talented lady

  77. L.... A....

    I remember listening to this song on repeat over ten years ago and then I didn't even know heartache...and now.
    Thanks Missy for making real true music that touches the soul. ♡♡♡♡♡

    You're so stupid. The song was released in 2004, and she did mention that she listened to the SONG on repeat, and not the video.

  78. L.... G....

    I will never forget this song... Love it.

  79. F.... L....

    Pure torture. And not in the romantic-talented sense.

    F.... L....

    Frank Longstread What? Missy Higgins is one of the best female Australian artists of all time i absolutely adore her

    F.... L....

    Fuck off Frank

    F.... L....

    Screw you

    A.... ....

    Andrew Semple Such a sad attempt to 'shock' that's fallen way short.... Its a pity they've mastered the keyboard............JUST!! 😉

    A.... ....

    Andrew Semple I agree Andy

    Bradley Lavigne loads of songs from pre internet have huge views on YouTube. It's crazy this only has 1mil.

  83. N.... B....

    Love this lady. What a talent!

  84. O.... M....

    If songs could kill...

  85. R.... ....

    One of her best songs not enough people know about her.

    R.... ....

    @Pandorock not everywhere else in the world though. i'd blame it on her strong aussie accent.

    R.... ....

    @Greys She uses her accent exquisitely in her music, without it, it wouldn't be the same. Rest of the world should suck it up and learn to broaden their musical tastes. Irish singers are also fantastic when their accents are utilized right...

    R.... ....

    @Brent Leslie except that thick aussie accent in a song sounds so bogan and annoying lol. i do listen to other aussie singers/bands (powderfinger, jet, silverchair, etc) they dont have accent like missy does.

    R.... ....

    @Greys As I said, you have a limited musical palette and/or are imposing your own stereotypes onto others. Listen to Droving Woman with Missy singing the last piece to hear another great example of her utilizing her accent. It's also a song about Australian history and it's people... it should be in an Australian accent...

    R.... ....

    @Brent Leslie going back to my point, that's the reason she's only popular in australia. her thick aussie accent puts a barrier to her music somehow. singers with jamaican accent can be popular in america and the rest of the world because the accent is normalized in music industry by people like bob marley, sean paul, etc, but people are still not used to hearing thick aussie accent in music yet. u can argue however u like, but that's the reality of it, whether u like it or not, sorry, dude.

    Mmm smells like nostalgia

    l.... ....

    Smells like pedophilia.

  88. L.... L....

     
    This is a song I'll always remember. I tasted beauty not knowing how much Id fall in love, hurting everyone on the way. It is a continuous flame that will never be seen or heard, but will never be extinguished. I never meant to hurt. And I never meant to fall in love as much as I did. I have watched your talents and beauty grow over the years, and cry inside for another day with you.....

    L.... L....

    i love u bigger 4eva in a day.xoxoxo

  89. t.... ....

    Trivia this vid was shot in one take,awesome! luvs it Missy

    t.... ....

    That's awesome! That must mean that even though they would have had a rough plan, the director basically let her wander around and do whatever she felt was right at the right time. That's awesome cooperation between everyone working on the video.

    t.... ....

    @TARDIS Tales  Yes i was surprised when i found out,it makes the clip,but her song writing and voice Bliss x

    t.... ....

    It's daylight at the start and we can see cars out the front going by, at the end it's night time so there must have been some cuts or special morph effects to join the shots together.
    Either that or they absolutely floodlit the entire front of the house and the street with warm lights to make it look like daylight, it's a great effect either way.

    t.... ....

    Lmao no it wasn't. It was day then dark. How do you assume that?

  90. 1.... ....

    Very smooth and straight from the heart!

  91. L.... D....

    This song is still so touching

    I suppose when you're in the middle of a bunch of complicated shit with the woman you love and you think it's not gonna work out and she sends you this link that's a good thing right?

    No, but a heartfelt apology is always better than apathy.
