I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one

    General Comment:i think its a break up song....

    You know that it all takes my breath away
    And now I'm left with nothing !!!!!!!! --see!!! they're breaking up--

    and the last line explain more...

    There's so much time
    To figure out the rest of my life
    But I've figured out
    When all is said and done --he regrets the break up,but its all too late--

    General Comment:I love this. I rememeber everything about him everytime I see him. "I remember what you wore on the first day" .. " I remember every look upon your face"
    I love him. I can't live without him. 'Us' & 'We' is so much better than 'Me' & 'Him'

    But I don't have him :( Flag lottieee123on August 04, 2010   Link

    General Comment:I take this song as rwo realizing how in love they really were AFTER they had broken up. Like in the beginning "Hey, you know this could be something" and the were both falling. But for whatever reason, it didn't quite work. Then after they had broken up they realized that they really were in love, and how great that love could be.

    General Comment:Yeah...I don't view this song as a breakup song at all. I think it's a song about a person's realization that they are in love...and that being together is starting to sound better than not being together. Young love is really difficult and I think when people first fall for each other, they're often in denial for several reasons (we've all been there.) I believe this song is about the breakthrough you have when you realize "You know what? I really am in love with this person."

    The lyrics are pretty much self explanatory - They remember every little details of certain encounters, they can't stop thinking about each other...and they realize maybe they do need to be together.

    Oh, "And now I'm left with nothing" is not a reference to being alone...it's a reference to him being out of breath. "You know that it all takes my breath away and now I'm left with nothing." Nothing = no breath.

    General Comment:when i listen to this song i think of it as a breakup song kind of. everyone i tell this to says i am crazy but whatever. i think that they want to be together, but forever reason they can't. maybe because of location, jobs, family, or that they are just better being apart.

    "two is better than one" as in two people are better then one couple.

    i see both sides a love & a breakup song.

    General Comment:OMG LUV THIS SONG! it makes me wanna cry especially the part
    I remember every look upon your face

    "The way you roll your eyes
    The way you taste
    You make it hard for breathing
    'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
    I think of you and everything's okay
    I'm finally now believing"

    AHMAZING...definitely about being skeptic about love or "two being better then one" annd then u fall in love...and...ya u can guess the rest =]
