Swell Season, The - Two Tongues Lyrics
What you give,
or give out,
Is the only thing that really counts.
Will you stay...here?
And we'll both start working this out.
But it's not just this its everything
It's so hard to reach and impossible
To really read when you're talking
With two tongues in your mouth.
And I wish you'd quit this mumbling
underneath your breath it's killing me
You've not said nothing yet.
Well I guess I'm starting to doubt.
Are we lost...here?
Are you keeping count?
Or are you gonna just let me down?
Your heart's not in it, it's every word
It's plain to see you're still mumbling
What's underneath, you're so curious
Well it's two strikes and you're out.
And I'm tiring of this attitude
And you fall to pieces like you do
I can't believe you're still talking
with two tongues in your mouth
After all we've been around.
Will you hear me out?
You're the only thing that really counts.

Two Tongues
The Swell Season
What you give
Or give out
Is the only thing
That really counts
Will you stay?
Here, stay around
And we'll both start
Working this out
But it's not just this
It's everything
You're so hard to reach
And impossible to really read
When your talking with
Two tongues in your mouth
And I wish you'd quit this muttering
Beneath your breath
It's killing me
You've not said nothing yet
Who's talking now?
Well I guess I'm starting to doubt
Are we lost here?
Are you keeping count?
Are you gonna just let me down?
Well your hearts not in it
It's everywhere
It's plain to see
You're still wondering
What's underneath
You're so curious
It's two strikes and you're out
And I'm tiring of this attitude
How you fall to pieces
Like you do
I can't believe you're still talking
With two tongues in your mouth
After all we've been around
Will you hear me out?
You're the only thing
That really counts

makes u wanna fall in love like now..poetic stuff
This is probably my favourite Swell Season song. It makes me sad that they seem to have never played it live... which makes me also think it's an intensely personal song about the end of their relationship :'(
I was exactly thinking the same. They never sang it live, not once 😐 and is one of my favourite songs of The Swell Season.
The movie and the songs are amazing..
I can't believe you're still talking with two tongues in your mouth... after all we've been around...
anyone know the chords to this?(:
I can't stop listening to this.
Amazing.. What else to say?
this song god ugh FEELINGS
This song hurts and heals and then kills my heart.
"will you hear me out?
you're the only thing
that really counts"
I'm listening to this song...and I'm thinking "sounds like 2 people that are struggling to communicate in a relationship"...but as soon as i hear those lyrics...Man....I can keep it together for most of the song but those lyrics do me in...Such a sad 'end of the road' song :((
what an amazing voice...
This is magic. Beautiful, quiet, heart-breaking magic that devastates me every time I hear the last line.
his voice is so mesmerizing.i just can't stop listening to those soothing songs from "the swell season"
amazing lyrics!
Everything about the composition of this song is perfection. One year after the album was released and it's still every bit as moving today.
gorgeous...entrancing. LOVE Glen and Markéta! :)
this song is haunting me. such a great and powerful song about surviving.
this song just kills me. i love it so much. and glen is such a great guy. i met him and wow, he blew my mind, just like his music =] can't wait to see them again next month!
The best song of this album. Great!!
Excellent!!
See you in Milwaukee.
