Lover I Don't Have to Love - Bright Eyes

I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you

Said I liked your shoes, you said «Thanks can I follow you?»

Now it’s up the stairs and out of view, no prying eyes

I poured some wine, when I asked your name

You asked the time

Well, it’s 2 o’clock and the club is closed

We’re up the block, your hands on me Pressing hard against your jeans

Your tongue in my mouth

Trying to keep the words from coming out

You didn’t care to know

Who else may have been here before

I want a lover, I don’t have to love

I want a boy who’s so drunk he doesn’t talk

Where’s the kid with the chemicals?

I thought I’d meet him here but I’m not sure

I got the money if you got the time

You said it feels good, I said, «I'll give a try»

Then my mind went dark

We both forgot where your car was parked

So let’s take the train

I’ll meet up with the band in the morning

Bad actors with bad habits

Some sad singers they just play tragic

And the phone’s ringing and the band’s leaving

Let’s just keep touching

Let’s just keep on singing

I want a lover, I don’t have to love

I want a boy who’s so drunk he doesn’t talk

Where’s the kid with the chemicals?

I got a hunger and I can’t seem to get full

I need a meaning I can memorize

The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

But you, you write such pretty words

But life’s no story book, love’s an excuse to get hurt

And to hurt, do you like to hurt?

Do you like to?

Then hurt me, then hurt me Didn’t hurt me It didn’t hurt me It didn’t hurt me It didn’t hurt me It didn’t hurt me
