Lovers

[Verse]
When lovers do as lovers do
In the backs of cars and in low-lit rooms
Glass of wine, cigarette smoke
With a tempting smile and a playful joke
I love you, I love you, I love you

The years fly by in a passing train
And we're passengers with the same last name
The fire's gone out but the coal remains
If the occasion calls then it might burn again
I love you, I would always love you

[Bridge]
Oh, and then the children come, we get all worked up
The fire burns, but it's not for us
I still got things to try, she won't give me the time
I love you, but sometimes it's hard to

[Chorus]
I won't lie, I'm sinking like a stone
But it beats the hell out of being here alone
I will love you, I love you
If I had even half a chance
To cover up the sin from my own life
I would love you faithfully this time around

[Verse]
There's a hole in my brain the size of the ring
That I forget sometimes after showering
With a heavy heart and the devil's tools
I met a pretty girl who learned the Golden Rule
I love you, but one time forgot to

[Bridge]
Oh, and now we eat our meals in the living room
With the volume up as we watch the news
Kids in the parks holding signs, animals killing and dying
I love you, I love you, I love you

[Chorus]
I won't lie, I'm sinking like a stone
But it beats the hell out of being here alone
I will love you, I love you
If I had even half a chance
To cover up the sins from my own life
I will love you faithfully

I won't lie, I'm sinking like a stone
Beats the hell out of being here alone
I will love you, I love you
If I had even half a chance
To cover up the sins from my own life
I will love you faithfully this time around
