Lyrics
He takes his coffee too hot
Leaves his socks by the bed
Laughs at shows I've seen a hundred times
He's not perfect no one is
But he's mine
Two of us in morning light
Shirts on chairs our love feels right
Kisses soft the day begins
Home is here in the warmth of his skin
But some nights
The sheets feel empty even with him near
My chest burns my hands ache
Like something's gone something I can't hold
I love him but the hunger grows
A secret itch nobody knows
I tell myself it's just a phase
But the wanting doesn't fade
It's nothing just a screen just a glow in the dark
Just a glow in the dark
The thrill hits hard my body knows
Body knows lies begin where the phone light shows
Two of us but my eyes slip away
Two of us but my hands want to stray
Two of us and I still can't deny
Love's not enough when the hunger's alive
Don't look at me now
He turns in his sleep
I swipe I tap hard already
It's just one message
Just one lie
Two of us but my eyes slip away
Two of us but my hands want to stray
Two of us but I'm already gone
The first lie whispered before the dawn
About the Song
"Two of Us" is the devastating opening number of The Unseen Chorus's narrative arc. What begins as a tender portrait of domestic love—coffee, socks, shared laughter—quickly reveals the cracks beneath the surface. The protagonist lies next to his partner while secretly engaging with hookup apps in the dark.
The song captures the heartbreaking contradiction at the core of infidelity: genuine love coexisting with compulsive betrayal. "Love's not enough when the hunger's alive" articulates the beginning of a spiral that will define the entire musical.
