I Was a Lover

I bought a track jacket, some running shoes
I had no pockets so I had nothing to lose
Took a run from all my winter blues,
Till it was summer
And every culdesac and avenue
Tried to turn my back then my ambitions grew
It reminded me of the feelings i once knew
When I was a love
Oooh, la da da da
If we were lovers, if we were lovers
I started feelin' bad, I thought of you
All the plans you have are always fallin' through
You really need someone you can run to
To be your cover
I really hope I change, I'll come back then
Maybe we'll try this all over again
Till then I'll wonder how it could've been
If we were lovers
Oooh, la da da da
If we were lovers, if we were lovers
Oooh, la da da da
If we were lovers, if we were lovers
There is a time, everything will find it's place in line
But all my dreams get in the way
There is a time, everything will find it's place in line
But all my dreams get in the way
Put on my track jacket, those running shoes
I've got no pockets so I've got nothing to lose
I'm gonna run from all my winter blues
Until we're overs
Oooh, la da da da
If we were lovers, if we were lovers
Oooh, la da da da
If we were lovers, if we were lovers
