Lyrics

Lovers In The City

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.

I'd never call this an unpleasant situation

I'd never teach you how to lie

But sometimes I have been walking numb

And I must catch myself before I cry

Before I cry

I never call anything ugly

I never call anything strange and alone

I never want to, take things lightly

Like they have never been my own

Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright

I always thought you'd feel it too

But sometimes I have been making conversation

And I must catch myself

Before I'm down

I'm down on you

I never think they would be scaring me

scared couples in the cold

They look so fine in their eagerness

I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I'm staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you

I'd be far too scared to try

But sometimes I have been talking dumb

And I forget myself

And I forget myself

And don't ask, why?

Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city
