Two cents is better than one.

I remember what you did on our first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know this could be something
Cause everything you do and words you say
You took my tracks and let it play away,
A million hits and it took my breath away
But now I’m left with nothing
So maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
And it’s true it’s not enough to pay for my bills
But there’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking two cents, is better than one

I remember there’s this ongoing debate
over the artists getting paid
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of the trickle of funds at the back of my head
The album sales, the financial deals.
And maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
Well maybe two cents is better than one

If you’re maybe in love with the artist who makes the records,
That set your life to the rhythms,
Perhaps, you would like to do something
Steer the flow of income generated by recorded music
back toward the artists in a more fair way
than Spotify currently makes possible.

But there’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone,
And I’m thinking two cents, is better than one
