Lyrics

[00:01.430] Lover I Don't Have To Love - Bright Eyes
[00:19.310] I picked you out
[00:20.740]
[00:22.180] Of a crowd and talked to you
[00:24.920] Said I liked your shoes
[00:26.420]
[00:28.170] You said thanks can I follow you?
[00:30.910] So it's up the stairs
[00:32.660]
[00:33.910] And out of view
[00:35.410] No prying eyes
[00:36.970] I poured some wine
[00:39.840] I asked your name you asked the time
[00:48.820] Now it's two o'clock,
[00:51.940] the club is closed we're up the block
[00:54.810] Your hands on me
[00:57.680] I'm pressing hard against your jeans
[01:00.550] Your tongue in my mouth
[01:03.420] Trying to keep the words from coming out
[01:06.420] You didn't care to know
[01:09.540] Who else may have been you before
[01:18.460] I want a lover I don't have to love
[01:21.330] I want a girl who's too sad to give a ****
[01:24.390] Where's the kid with the chemicals?
[01:27.060] I thought he said to meet me here but I'm not sure
[01:29.930] I got the money if you got the time
[01:32.360] You said it feels good I said I'll give it a try
[01:42.220] Then my mind went dark
[01:44.900] We both forgot where your car was parked
[01:48.210] Let's just take the train
[01:50.400] I'll meet up with the band in the morning
[01:54.520] Bad actors with bad habits
[01:59.320] Some sad singers
[02:02.500] They just play tragic
[02:05.560] And the phone's ringing
[02:08.560] And the van's leaving
[02:11.110] Let's just keep touching
[02:13.860] Let's just keep keep singing
[02:20.670]
[02:24.040] I want a lover I don't have to love
[02:26.790] I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
[02:29.850] Where's the kid with the chemicals
[02:32.090]
[02:32.660] I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
[02:35.600] I need some meaning I can memorize
[02:38.360] The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
[02:44.410] But you but you
[02:46.650] You write such pretty words
[02:52.710] But life's no story book
[02:58.760] Love's an excuse to get hurt
[03:05.120] And to hurt
[03:07.550] "Do you like to hurt?"
[03:09.240] "I do! I do!"
[03:10.560] "Then hurt me."
