Two Steps
Russell Alice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then its silly you, and then silly me
Iâ??m feeling good and Iâ??m feeling mighty bad
You got to treasure before the good turns bad
Autonomy and chemistry
And then its silly you, and then silly me
Iâ??m feeling good and Iâ??m feeling mighty badYou got to treasure before the good turns bad
We take
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten
And yes it gets emotional
Those feeling that come up between a boy and girl
And all those words you said you know you didnâ??t mean
The ears that heard them now are feeling very sad
Understanding is the thing, the key
To open locks that you never believed to even see
And something there in your very heart
Knows that youâ??ll both be there and youâ??ll never part
We take
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten
Domestic bliss on a cloud named nine
Sweet sexiness, soft caress could be be yours and mineA cloud named nine
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
And then the girls sing
And then the boys sing
Lets sing together
Good thoughts and feelings into the love machine
Good thoughts and feelings into the love machine
Good thoughts and feelings into the love machine
Good thoughts and feelings into the love machine
Weâ??re malfunctioning like robot love
Weâ??re malfunctioning like robot love
Weâ??re malfunctioning like robot love
Weâ??re malfunctioning like robot love

Autonomy and chemistry
The independence and attraction between two people
And then its silly you, and then silly me
Both parties are involved in this situation and are 'silly'
I’m feeling good and I’m feeling mighty bad
Emotions are up and down
You got to treasure before the good turns bad
We must appreciate the good times while they last
Two steps forward and then ten steps back
The relationship is progressing slowly and then regressing rapidly
And yes it gets emotional
Strong feelings become involved
Those feeling that come up between a boy and girl
The romantic feelings that arise between two individuals
And all those words you said you know you didn’t mean
Words uttered during emotional moments are not always sincere
The ears that heard them now are feeling very sad
Those who listened to these words are now feeling upset
Understanding is the thing, the key
Communication and empathy are critical to success in a relationship
To open locks that you never believed to even see
Communication can help resolve issues that were not initially noticeable
And something there in your very heart
An indescribable feeling in the heart
Knows that you’ll both be there and you’ll never part
A gut feeling that the relationship will last forever
Domestic bliss on a cloud named nine
Pleasure and happiness at its peak
Sweet sexiness, soft caress could be be yours and mine
Intimacy and affection that is shared between two people
And then the girls sing
The female vocalists sing
And then the boys sing
The male vocalists sing
Lets sing together
Unite with song
Good thoughts and feelings into the love machine
A positive perspective and emotions fuel the relationship
We’re malfunctioning like robot love
The relationship is flawed and not functioning properly
