Am I the only one watching this and thinking how old I feel?? The last time I saw Missy Higgins sing this, she looked like a kid....now she is Demi Moore...Bloody awesome still though
This song always brings back cathartic and voice breaking from tears memories of that amazing mum singing this with her daughter on, “Choir of Hard Knocks.”
Beautiful song and this arrangement gorgeous. Seamless build. Band did a great job. Missy Higgins quintessentially Australian. Wonderful singer and crafter of beautiful songs
You are amazing Missy! So earnest and an amazing roll model! What a circle of being a massive fan to my kids learning your songs and saying they are cool!
I've hardly been outside my room in days 'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away And it was then I realized the conscience never fades When you're young, you have this image of your life That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross And if you happen to you wake completely lost But I will fight for you Be sure that I will fight Until we're the special two once again And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together Our hands will not be taught to hold another's 'Cause we're the special two And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together These arms will not be taught to need another's 'Cause we're the special two I remember someone old once said to me That lies will lock you up with truth the only key But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face? Well, I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down 'Cause we were the special two, and we'll be again And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together Our hands will not be taught to hold another's 'Cause we're the special two And we could only see each other we'll breathe together These arms will not be taught to need another's We're the special two I step outside my mind's eyes for a minute And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease Or something that could ease the pain But nothing cures the hurt, you, you bring on by yourself Just remembering, just remembering how we were When we would only need each other, we'd bleed together These hands would not be taught to hold another's We were the special two And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together These arms would not be taught to need another's 'Cause we're the special two
