Two Of Us
Louis Tomlinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to hear the answerphone
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories playing through my head
You'll never know how much I miss you
The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I could feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every mirror
I know you'll be waiting, I'll see you again
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away (fade away)
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I promised you I'd do this
So all of this is all for you
Oh, I swear to God you're living
Through everything I'll ever do
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of us
One life for the two of us
I'll be living one life for the two of us
We'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I will hold you where my heart is
One life for the two of us
In "Two of Us," Louis Tomlinson reminisces about a loved one who has passed away. He tells the story of how he misses this person, who can no longer answer the phone, and how he wishes he could have been the one to take their place. Throughout the song, Louis makes parallels between his own life and his loved one's life. He promises to live his life for both of them, to be the best version of himself and keep the memories of his loved one alive.
The chorus is particularly crucial in the song. It is a declaration of Louis' promise to keep his loved one a part of his life always, to never forget or let go of the beautiful moments they have shared together. He repeats the phrase, "I'll be living one life for the two of us" several times, emphasizing the importance of his loved one's memory in his life.
The song ends optimistically, with Louis declaring that he and his loved one will end like it all started: just the two of them, together. He promises to hold his loved one where his heart is and to ensure that they will always be a part of his life.

It's been a minute since I called you
It’s been awhile since I spoke to you
Just to hear the answerphone
Just to hear the sound of your voice on the answering machine
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
I know you can't hear this message
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
But I'll leave a message anyway just to feel like I'm talking to you
This morning I woke up still dreaming
I woke up from a dream where you were still alive
With memories playing through my head
Remembering the good times we had together
You'll never know how much I miss you
I miss you more than you could ever imagine
The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead
I wish I could have taken your place and spared you from your fate
But you once told me, "Don't give up
You always encouraged me not to give up
You can do it day by day"
To take things one day at a time and not give up hope
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away
Memories are like diamonds, they never disappear
So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I will keep your memory alive always, until I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will live my life for the both of us and make up for the loss of yours
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I will strive to be my best self and keep your memory close
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Even when I'm alone, I'll feel your presence
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
Your favorite song is forever imprinted on my heart
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I know you're watching over me, and I promise to make you proud
I promised you I'd do this
I made a promise to you
So all of this is all for you
Everything I'm doing is for you
Oh, I swear to God you're living
I believe that you're still with me, watching over me
Through everything I'll ever do
You'll always be a part of everything I do
We'll end just like we started
Our journey began with just the two of us and it will end the same way
Just you and me and no one else
Just you and me, like it always was
I will hold you where my heart is
I will keep you close in my heart
One life for the two of us
I will live one life for the both of us

@harrylouberrie
My mom passed away when I was 16, life was so hard back then, one direction was the only motive that kept me happy and alive. it's been more than 10 years for today she left me yet louis and the other 4 boys are the people who bring light to my darkest days. this song is personal to me i come here each time i remember my mom and i cry my heart out. it feels like something is slashing through my heart yet the ending is so peaceful it gives so much positive energy like a soothing to my sick soul. it's amazing how someone close in real life cannot see your inner pain when louis tomlinson can write you an entire blessing then sing it to your sick soul and wounded heart to make them heal. louis and his songs make me stronger i'm forever glad i have louis in my life and when i say louis saved my life and louis is saving my life, i seriously mean it. ❤️

I honestly hope you're doing better my love! I know how it feels to find comfort in 5 strangers that do music for a living. And I know that your mother is super proud of the person you've become! Keep living for the two of you and keep on making her proud <33
@god-has-adhd
hey, honestly I kinda know how you feel. I'm turning 16 this October and I lost my mother in April this year due to sarcoma and the only thing that is helping me through is Louis's music ❤❤
@eileenzm0911
