Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)
Let's not go home
We'll catch the late train
I've got enough money
To pay on the way
When the postman calls
I've explained everything
It's better that way
(Divided by, divided by)
I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
Or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by)
It's better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
Than call it all off
We'll catch a plane to New York
cnd a cab going down
Cross the bridges and tunnels
Straight into town
Tomorrow morning
We'll be miles away
On another continent
cnd another day
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
Or call it a day
(Divided by, divided by)
You won't be alone
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
(Two divided by zero, zero)
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)
(Zero)
(Divided by, divided by)
Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by zero, zero)
(Divided by, divided by)
Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
So why hang around
For the deed to be done?
You can give it all up
For a place in the sun
When the postman calls
We'll be miles away
On a plane to New York
cnd another day
(Divided by, divided by)
I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
Or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by)
Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
Than call it all off
(Divided by, divided by)
Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
cnd someone has to pay
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
The lyrics of "Two By Two" by Neil A. Kjos Music Company convey a sense of urgency and the desire to escape from a situation. The repeated line "Two divided by zero, zero" seems to suggest a feeling of being trapped or stuck, unable to progress. It may symbolize a relationship or partnership that was once balanced ("Two") but has now reached a point of conflict or disagreement ("divided by").
The song begins with a reluctance to return home and a decision to catch a late train instead. The singer has enough money to pay for the journey, indicating a readiness for a fresh start. The mention of the postman delivering a letter suggests that the singer has communicated their intentions to leave and has explained their reasons to someone.
The verses continue with references to rumors and the need to act quickly. It could be that the singer feels pressure from external sources or the opinions of others. They believe it's better to leave sooner rather than attempting to salvage the situation. The idea of catching a plane to New York and taking a cab into town represents a physical and emotional distance from their current circumstances.
The repeated refrain of "Let's not go home, let's run away" underscores the theme of escaping. The singer is determined to leave everything behind and start anew. They express the desire not to call it a day or give up, but instead choose to run away from their current life.
The song ends with a repetition of the earlier themes, emphasizing the spread of rumors and the need to act swiftly. The line "someone has to pay" suggests that there may be consequences or debts to be settled before the singer can completely move on. However, the final plea to "not go home" and to "run away" reaffirms the singer's determination to break free and seek a different, potentially better, future.

And a cab going down
Along with a taxicab descending
Cross the bridges and tunnels
Traverse the structures that span water or underground passages
Straight into town
Directly into the urban area
Tomorrow morning
In the morning of the following day
We'll be miles away
We will have put a significant distance between ourselves and our current location
On another continent
In a different landmass or geographical region
And another day
In a separate period of time

In exchange for a desirable or advantageous position
When the postman calls
Upon the arrival of the mail carrier
We'll be miles away
We will have put a significant distance between ourselves and our current location
On a plane to New York

And another day
In a separate period of time
I think they heard a rumour
I believe they became aware of unverified information
Or someone tipped them off
Alternatively, someone alerted them covertly
Better to go sooner
It is more advantageous to depart earlier
Than call it all off
Rather than canceling or terminating everything
Someone spread a rumour
An individual propagated unverified information

Let's not go home
We should refrain from returning to our place of residence
Let's run away
We should escape or flee from our current situation
