Two Forks - Squeeze

The valves have been opened the hot air has gone

The words reunited with things that went wrong

We’re tossed up like salad two forks of our life

And here at the crossroads someone stole the sign

It may have been futile to aim for the sky

But nothing can stop us we might as well try

The pressure has lifted the tension has eased

As if we’d been kidnapped then swiftly released

The first time I witnessed the problem I knew

Nothing between us no shared point of view

Our spirits were broken by many events

Mistaken assumptions that left us both tense

Then all of the humour

Sprung out of its cage

Where it had been chained up

For what seemed like an age

But now there is freedom

That’s dropped like a stone

I still have a wobble

When your name lights my phone

Our tastes are so different

We’re so far apart

But we’re joined together

Have been from the start

All of the stories are perfectly true

The crisps in your pocket as crunchy as you

The pressures has lifted

The valve has released

I’m over the bad stuff

The beauty and beast

It’s time now to wade in

So let us give thanks

I’m grateful for knowing

One day we’ll look back
