All the Other Lovers - Field Guide

Is it the right thing, at the wrong time?

High end whiskey, when you want wine

You can waste a lot of time like that

And you can never get it back

And it’s a hard thing, at a hard time

You’re in your twenties and you change your mind

About what matters most

It’s hard to lose someone when you’ve grown close

But I just want to be in a place where I can confidently say

All the other lovers were just paving the way

All the other lovers were just paving the way

It’s a complicated lifestyle

Loving someone for a little while

Then asking to fade to friends

What an unreasonable request

And baring my soul to you

Then just walking away from you

Like I wouldn’t be permanently changed by you

But I just want to be in a place where I can confidently say

All the other lovers were just paving the way

All the other lovers were just paving the way

All the other lovers were just paving the way

All the other lovers were just paving the way
