The Rules for Lovers
Hello, goodbye
So long, goodnight
The sound, the sign
Of truth, of lies
The kick, a word
Unsaid, unheard
[chorus]
Who decides the rules for lovers
Like
You and I, we choose each other
And we
Find
No other lover
Find
With, without
We trust, we doubt
To find, to lose
We hurt, we bruise
The hand, the heart
An end, a start
[chorus]
A sky, a night
The black, the white
A push, a pull
The Prince, the Fool
The harsh, the kind
A day, a life
Who decides the rules for lovers
Like
You and I, we choose each other
And we
Find
No other lover
Find
No other
[collision - chorus sung in the round]
