Lover of Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1: Luke]
Lover of mine, maybe we'll take some time
Kaleidoscope mind gets in the way
Hope and I pray, darling, that you will stay
Butterfly lies, chase them away, mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]
Dance around the living room
Lose me in the sight of you
I've seen the red, I've seen the blue
Take all of me
Deep to where your secrets hide
Where we've been a thousand times
Swallow every single lie
Take all of me

[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Ashton, All]
I'll never give you away
'Cause I've already made that mistake
If my name never fell off your lips again (Ah)
I know it'd be such a shame (Ah)
When I take a look at my life and all of my crimes
You're the only thing that I think I got right
I'll never give you away
'Cause I've already made, already made that mistake

[Verse 2: Luke, Luke & Calum]
Lover of mine, I know you're colourblind
I watched the world fall from your eyes, ooh
All my regrets and things you can't forget
Light them all up, kiss them goodbye

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]
Dance around the living room
Lose me in the sight of you
I've seen the red, I've seen the blue
Take all of me
Deep to where your secrets hide
Where we've been a thousand times
Swallow every single lie
Take all of me

[Chorus: Luke & Calum, All]
I'll never give you away
'Cause I've already made that mistake
If my name never fell off your lips again (Ah)
I know it'd be such a shame (Ah)
When I take a look at my life and all of my crimes
You're the only thing that I think I got right
I'll never give you away
'Cause I've already made, already made that mistake

What have the artists said about the song on the commentary album?

This song is an upfront lead to your lover that they will take all of you and take you as you are, the good/bad and the ugly.
