I remember dancing in the pouring rain
Calling you up just to say your name
We felt like lovers
We felt like lovers
Reaching for your hand when you pull away
Everytime I'd leave you'd beg me to stay
We felt like lovers
Living life under covers
We'd sail through love and war
We'd fight for everything and more
To save the night, the night was all we saw
That's what the darkness is for
Look at the time and the time that it's taken
Is this love like the love we were making
When we were lovers
We were lovers, we were lovers, we were lovers
Two hearts beating in stereo
Never needed maps to tell us where to go
We followed the stars but they took us too far
We'd sail through love and war
We'd fight for everything and more
To save the night, the night was all we saw
That's what the darkness is for
Look at the time and the time that it's taken
Is this love like the love we were making
When we were lovers
We were lovers, we were lovers, we were lovers
Giving it all was everything we were giving
Living for eachother was why we were living
When we were lovers
We were lovers living life under covers
Here we are slowly falling apart
Every broken promiss is a broken heart
Look at the time and the time that it's taken
Is this love like the love we were making
When we were lovers
We were lovers, we were lovers, we were lovers
Giving it all was everything we were giving
Living for eachother was why we were living
When we were lovers
We were lovers living life under covers
It felt like love, love, felt like love, love
