Did You Know? The song was originally written about Paul McCartney's late night drives around London with his wife Linda. But as the song progressed and the beginning of the end of the Beatles arrived it began to take on shades of meaning through the lens of Paul MCcartney and John Lennons relationship.

Two Of Us Lyrics
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me, Sunday driving
Not arriving, on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches, on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me, chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home
