two beds and a coffee machine

Darren: This is a very raw song, about an uncomfortable topic: abuse in a relationship, from the perspective of looking back after the whole thing is finished. We wrote this very quickly in the studio. Walter Afanasieff is such an amazing musician that we asked him to play the piano part. It was about 3 o'clock in the morning, and I was in another room to him recording my vocals for the demo. We flew to New York to record all the vocals for the album, but we ended up using the original demo vocal on this song because it was the best performance. Its not perfect... but we liked it that way. It has so much emotion, because that was the first time I'd sung it all the way through from top to bottom. Daniel: Its a beautiful, pure, honest and sad song. Theres really nothing else that needs to be said.

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming
Now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road 
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

There are children to think of
Baby's alseep in the backseat
Wonder how they're gonna make it
Through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two Beds and a Coffee Machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road 
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide 
Another Alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
There is hope in the darkness
And you know your gonna make it

Another ditch in the road 
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another ditch in the road 
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it
