| 01.27.07 [Like Lovers Do] |
There is a paradise that can be found
A better life to bring us round
And all we really need to do
Is see the world like lovers do
When I saw you sitting there in that dive bar in the middle of nowhere I wasn't entirely sure what to make of you. Part of me was scared, part of me was curious, but all of me fell in love. I fell in love with the wild hair and wilder eyes and the way everyone else in the place seemed to skirt around you. And I could only hope you might love me too if only we could get out of this place and out of this town and into something bigger and better. As big and better as you made me feel.
I want to take it easy, take it slow
To catch a fire and let it go
I wanna give myself to you
So we can live like lovers do
I want you to know that you're the only one I've ever let touch me like this. I don't mean that like you might think I do. I mean that you're the only one that could ever touch the real me. I need you to know that nothing you could do would ever push me away. There's nothing in your touch to hurt me except the punishment I'm thinking of. I know you'll keep me safe and you'll set me on fire and this is the only love I ever want to know.
Like lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Yeah like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
And I need to feel, I need to feel that way
I want to loose myself in you so that the lines that seperate us blend together. So that we don't have to worry about my skin or your bones and this house full of people who don't understand that I'll never need them the way I need touch you. And then we can just lock ourselves in this room, lock ourselves in from the disapproving reality and never come out except to save the world ever now and again.
I can hear you thinking what I feel
I know that what we've got is real
And all we need to get us through
Is just to live like lovers do
You don't have to worry about guilt or law because I know that what I feel for you is the only real thing in this land of unseeing eyes and unhearing ears and unfeeling hands. I know you know. I know you feel the same because you're the only one who dares to touch the untouchable, and you're the only one who ever made a promise you meant to keep. A promise you made because you trust me with your past enough to trust me with your future. I know because you're still in my head even after all this time. You're the only one that's ever stayed.
Just like lovers do
I wanna feel that way
Yeah like lovers do
They loose themselves for days
Yeah I need to feel, I need to feel that way
Like lovers do
Give me the strength
To give myself to you
Like lovers lovers do
Your belief in me gives me the strength to finally climb my way into your bed and tell you every thought I've ever had about you and me and us since that day I first laid eyes on you in that dive bar in the middle of nowhere. Since that day you gave a runaway Mississippi teenager a ride in the cold Canadian wilderness. And now the only thing for you to do is tell me what an man like you could do with a girl like me if the animal inside will let him, so we can stop living everyday like it's only one day closer to leaving and start living life like lovers do.
