Tindersticks
Were We Once Lovers?
Can you see me darling, in this light?
I'm talking to the shadows. Can you recognize?
Were we once lovers?
Were we once lovers?

I can remember the feeling of fingertips
Tracing the shape of my mouth, between my teeth
Lips down a line that’s whispering forgotten sighs
These secrets fading through the back of my mind
Were we once lovers?
Were we once lovers?

(Like in the song, it goes)
Kiss me in the morning
(Like in the song, it goes)
Kiss me in the morning
(Like in the song, it goes)
Were we once lovers?
(Like in the song, it goes)
Were we ever lovers?

How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
Did I take your number? Did I call?
Did we spend our lives together? I can’t recall
There’s something in the shadows, a trace of cologne
An ache I had for you, darling. I need to know
Were we once lovers?
I can’t remember, were we lovers?

How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
How can I care if it’s the caring that’s killing me?
