Bright Eyes
Lover I Don’t Have to Love
[Verse 1]
I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
Said I liked your shoes
You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs
And out of view, no prying eyes
I poured some wine
I asked your name, you asked the time
[Verse 2]
Now it's two o'clock
The club is closed, we're up the block
Your hands on me
I'm pressin' hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth
Tryin' to keep the words from comin' out
You didn't care to know
Who else may have been you before
[Chorus 1]
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
Where is the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet me 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 it a try
[Verse 3]
Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
[Verse 4]
Bad actors with bad habits
Some sad singers, they just play tragic
And the phone's ringin', and the van's leavin'
Let's just keep touching, let's just keep, keep singin'
[Chorus 2]
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Where is the kid with the chemicals?
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
[Outro]
But you, but you
You write such pretty words
But life's no storybook
Love's an excuse to get hurt, and to hurt
"Do you like to hurt?" "I do, I do!" "Then hurt me"
Then hurt me
Then hurt me, then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
