Boney M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spending someones
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out of here
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out of here
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someones
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
The song Two of Us by Boney M. is a nostalgic piece that talks about the journeys two individuals undertake together, both physically and emotionally. The first verse says that the two of them are "riding nowhere," and spending "somebody's hard-earned pay." They're on a journey, but don't have a destination in mind. In the second verse, they're sending postcards and letters to each other, burning matches and lifting latches, perhaps suggesting that they're unlocking new parts of themselves by being together. The bridge says that they have memories "longer than the road that stretches out of here," which implies that their relationship is enduring and that they'll always have these shared experiences to look back on.
The third verse talks about the two of them wearing raincoats, standing alone in the sun, and chasing paper without getting anywhere. This could suggest that they feel lost in their individual endeavors, but together they find clarity and purpose. Finally, the chorus repeats itself, emphasizing the idea that no matter where they go or what they do, they're always going home, to a place where they belong, where they feel safe and understood. The song could be interpreted as a celebration of the power of deep, longstanding connections, ones that help us find our way back to ourselves.
