lyrics

lovers always speak the truth
never need to see the proof

you sit in the park to clear your head
troubled over lovers' law instead

now they're arguing again
over which loves the other more

lovers, lovers all around
climbing on each other on the ground

I know a lover when I see one
they laugh when the other is carrying on

their hands fold together much
eyes never losing touch

when I listen carefully
their jokes aren't that amusing to me

love, it seems won't make you wise
I shook off my newspaper twice

headline: "unemployed,
half filled cup,
lovers never give up."

so I called the boss, I said "I quit,
love is more important than this shit."

now there's time, time to love
I tucked my phone and started walking home

I said "here I am, to love you more"
but she ran out through the back door

damn, the luck, I'm loverless
but at least now I know what she loved me for

headline: "unemployed
half empty cup
lovers never give up."

lovers linking hopeful arms
moving in and out of natural harm

lovers, chums with benefits
lovers aren't disappointed yet

I'm miserable, I sit in place
trying to wrest the smiles from their faces

there must be something that I overlooked
my lack of confidence just got shook

desperate need of love is like
a dog with a bone strapped on his back

you almost know you could use some help
circling, just chewing apart yourself

but I've the sense to look around
you tell me what I havn't found

you looked a little better a block away
but I don't mind getting here I just can't stay
