Two Of Us
The Punkles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
Two of us 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 ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
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 ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
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





We're going home
Better believe it

Overall Meaning

The Punkles's "Two of Us" is a song that speaks to the bond between two people who have a deep connection with each other. The first verse talks about the two of them riding aimlessly somewhere while spending money they didn't earn. They could be two friends taking a break from work and from life in general, trying to escape the monotony of everyday routine. They are on their way back home, but it's unclear where they have been. This could be a metaphor for life's journey as we often take a break from our daily routine to head towards something, but we can never predict where we will end up.


The next verse brings out the memories of the two people. They send postcards and write letters leaving memories on the walls that will always be with them. They burn matches and lift latches on their way back home, reveling in the company of each other. They are getting nowhere in life in terms of earning money, but their friendship and connection with each other are what make them richer. The chorus reinforces their homeward journey, believing in the comfort of their return to life's routine.


The final verse mentions the two people wearing raincoats and standing so low in the sun. Instead of heading for shelter, they are chasing paper, which they never catch because they have nowhere to go. Again, this could be symbolic of how life can sometimes pull us in different directions leaving us with nothing in our hands. The song concludes with the affirmation that they are going home, and it's something to believe in. The lyrics of the song resonate with everyone who has shared a deep bond with someone, and it captures the essence of how we all wish to return to a place we call home eventually.
