Two Way Monologue Lyrics - Sondre Lerche

Mum 

All the other options that you had in mind starve me 

'Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind 

Pa 

Won't you listen and I'll let you in on this 

Blind me! 

As you listen I'll reduce advice to dust 

Oh no! 

I shouldn't have to spell my name 

Ma! 

If it's worth the made up smiles, the quiet fights 

Oh mother! 

It is hard not to look in the mirror's eye 

I have come to this while you have come along 

So it's alright if you change your mind the other way around again 

I shouldn't have to spell my name 

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind 

We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme 

We 

can't reclaim the shirts we threw away last twirl 

Uncurl the note-in-pocket, personal brochures that dust 

Machine-washed, that's how paper rusts 

Days you spend wanting some of Michael Landon's grace 

strike back, now they shape your life as stony as his face 

Oh no! I shouldn't have to spell his name 

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind 

Start the two way monologues with words that rhyme 

Start the two way monologues that speak your mind 

We're talking two way monologues 

We were chasing rabbits on the hill 

And that prairie-life was great, but never real 

'Cause we never saw no rabbits out there, ever, no, not once 

All we did was put a fire up and watch it burn for months 

And I miss the sound of stairs and walls and maladjusted doors 

and too little space for holding all the soldiers and the war
