Like Only Lovers Can

Ed Harcourt

Out of nowhere I was there

But you took your time

No one thought that I could get you

Then they changed their minds



You know that I have a perfect plan

Drown in each other like only lovers can

Something is bound to come your way

And I'll watch you run astray



Walk amongst the others

Clearly state your aim

Slide beneath the covers

And I will say your name



In the city, crowds run wild

Like ants on a farm

Villains may commit their crimes

But I won't do you harm



You know that I have a perfect plan

Drown in each other like only lovers can

Something is bound to come your way

And I'll watch you run astray



Like only lovers can

Like only lovers can

Like only lovers can
