Lyrics
a song that's about aa meetings, then about a friend being sentenced in court, then about relationships. in all three, the observer and the one being observed are more alike than not.
paper dolls from folded pages
paired reflections we reveal
each a mirror of the other
in the way we think and feel
sit in circles at the meeting
hearing stories that you tell
at the bottom where we landed
‘neath the height from where we fell
in your words we change our places
i'm in your seat you in mine
let the circle be unbroken
two of us ones of a kind
click the channel see the picture
as you walk into the room
solemn judge slams down a gavel
rolls the stone upon your tomb
how can i share the moment
when i'll never know the pain
still somehow i dare to wonder
who has the ball and chain
and i've buried all my secrets
places that they'll never find
both of us in our own prisons
two of us ones of a kind
side by side inside the darkness
words to conquer our divide
pulling us from all the places
that we think we've found to hide
notes will carry now our burdens
from the hearts that might still care
let the night now whisper softly
bring us closer if we dare
in the past that somehow haunts us
in the cords we must unwind
there's a future still unwritten
two of us ones of a kind
