Two Crooked Hearts
Langhorne Slim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But honey, sometimes you play a fool too
Maybe that’s what happens
When two fools fall in love
I’ve had enough of your foolish love
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds alright
Maybe that’s what happens
When two fools fall in love
I’ve had enough of your foolish love
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Maybe that’s what happens
When two fools fall in love
I’ve had enough of your foolish love
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
The lyrics of Langhorne Slim’s song Two Crooked Hearts are about a failed love affair between two people who were not able to connect on an emotional level. The singer acknowledges that he was foolish to think that he could reach his partner, but he also points out that sometimes people play the fool in love. He declares that he has had enough of the other person’s foolish love, which has led to two crooked hearts and minds, living in one crooked time tonight.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “two crooked hearts, two crooked minds” several times, emphasizing the point that the two lovers’ psyches are not aligned, and that their relationship is destined to fail. The overall mood of the song is one of regret but also acceptance that the two were just not meant to be together. The singer seems resigned to the fact that they must part ways and move on.

I was a fool to think I could get to you
I overestimated my ability to win your heart
But honey, sometimes you play a fool too
But sometimes you also make foolish decisions
Maybe that’s what happens
When two fools fall in love
Perhaps this is just the consequence of two foolish people falling in love
I’ve had enough of your foolish love
I am tired of this reckless and unwise love we share
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds alright
Living in one crooked time tonight
We both have flawed hearts and twisted ways of thinking, and we are in a difficult period of life together
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Our hearts and minds are both bent out of shape and it seems to be a repeating pattern in our relationship
I’ve had enough of your foolish love
I am fed up with the thoughtless and irrational love we have for each other
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds
(Two crooked hearts, two crooked minds)
Our hearts and minds remain distorted and malfunctioning in this relationship
