A Nation of Two

[Verse 1]
I made an expedition
Through a country that's not my own
Crossed the mountains and swam the river
And found I was still alone
And I came across the desert
Trying to make life a metaphor
But there was no one there to share my wisdom with
So I moved along

[Chorus]
I thought, "If you really want
Want to love somebody
It will cost you more than you have
I can guarantee you that."

[Verse 2]
So I turned to education
And sought understanding of human kind
Stood on the shoulders of prudent giants
Just trying to glimpse the light
But the shadow was overwhelming
It buries good men beneath the sand
So I reached out for a savior
And I found her hand

[Chorus (Repeated x2)]
If you really want
Want to love somebody
It will cost you more than you have
I can guarantee you that

It's worth every bit
I can guarantee you that! (x2)

[Repeated x2]
I can guarantee that there's nothing in this life
That has ever felt so right
And there's nothing in this world
Except you (except you)
And me (and me)

And there's no one in this life
Quite like the two of us
And there's no one in this world
Quite like the two of us (x4)
