Ed Harcourt › Lyrics › Like Only Lovers Can

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
