Two Degrees from Forever
For the person who keeps changing the thermostat
Press play to hear this song.
Why this song was made
A couple gives their thermostat dispute the orchestral stakes of a world-ending romance. Leftovers and toilet-roll etiquette join the argument, before both admit that this ridiculous everyday life is exactly what they want together.
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came downstairs at midnight; there was thunder in my soul,
You'd moved the dial to eighteen and taken full control.
I stood beneath the hallway light, a blanket round my chest,
You said, Just put a jumper on. I said, This is a test.
The leftover lasagne had mysteriously disappeared,
You left the empty dish so hope could linger in the fridge.
[Chorus]
We're two degrees from forever,
One last slice from a fight,
I would cross a thousand oceans,
If you'd put the toilet roll on right.
Turn the whole sky into thunder,
Let the dramatic violins begin,
You're the one I want beside me,
Even when you're wrong again.
[Verse 2]
You say I load the cups as though I'm building modern art,
I say your twenty-seven pillows keep us physically apart.
We've had negotiations on the proper word for dinner,
And both supplied a witness who declared us both the winner.
But when the neighbours heard us laugh and knocked to ask us why,
You said we'd saved our marriage by agreeing on a pie.
[Bridge]
There are bigger storms out there; we have weathered quite a few,
You can have the warmer blanket; I'll be fine curled up with you.
There's a little space at twenty where our kingdoms can unite,
Just don't touch the leftover pie. I'm serious. Goodnight.
[Chorus]
We're two degrees from forever,
One last slice from a fight,
I would cross a thousand oceans,
If you'd put the toilet roll on right.
Turn the whole sky into thunder,
Let the dramatic violins begin,
You're the one I want beside me,
Even when you're wrong again.
