Lyrics
Lover
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't know where you are
How near or how far
Willing to go
It's time for the show
You learn your apart, favorite part
It's when you're my lover
Don't know where to go
Production is slow
Have life as a star
Contained in a jar
If I lay my head down on your knee
Pretend I'm your lover
So many things I want you to think
Think about me
The things you don't see
Things we take away
Baby, look at my face
No one can lie like a lover
If I turn away
baby, look at my face
No one can lie like a lover
All of my life
It's all in my guy, yeah
Nothings takes me higher
Yeah, yeah
Touching the sun
Is all that I want, yeah
No one takes me higher, yeah
No, no
If there's a way
Out of this maze
Hand me the key
I'll set me free
Touching the sun, all that I want
Is to be your lover
Touching the sun, all that I want
Is to be your lover, yeah
Touching the sun, all that I want
Is to be your lover, yeah
Yeah, yeah
La la la la, oh

La la la la, oh, oh
To be your lover
