Lover I Don't Have To Love Lyrics - Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground - Bright Eyes

I picked you out 

Of a crowd and talked to you 

Said I liked your shoes 

You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?" 

So it's up the stairs 

And out of view, no prying eyes 

I poured some wine 

I asked your name, you asked the time 

Now it's two o'clock 

The club is closed and we are up the block 

Your hands are on me 

Pressing hard against your jeans 

Your tongue in my mouth 

Trying to keep the words from coming out 

You didn't care to know 

Who else may have been you before 

I want a lover I don't have to love 

I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck 

Where's the kid with the chemicals? 

I thought he said to meet him here 

But I'm not sure 

I've got the money 

If you've got the time 

You said, "It feels good" 

I said "I'll give it a try" 

Then my mind went dark 

We both forgot where your car was parked 

Let's just take the train 

I'll meet up with the band in the morning 

Bad actors with bad habits 

Some sad singers, they just play tragic 

And the phone's ringing 

And the van's leaving 

Let's just keep touching 

Let's just keep, keep singing 

I want a lover I don't have to love 

I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk 

And where's the kid with the chemicals? 

I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full 

I need some meaning I can memorize 

The kind I have always seems to slip my mind 

But you, but you 

You write such pretty words 

But life's no storybook 

Love's an excuse to get hurt 

And to hurt 

Do you like to hurt? 

I do, I do 

Then hurt me 

Then hurt me 

Then hurt me
