You come to town

I take you in

And in a hotel in my hometown

We pretend

Desperate touch

Sweet escape

Oh what lovely ache

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love

Quiet was

The subtle night

But things grow louder

In the static of the light

The day will drown

The fragile dawn

And it is safer to stay strangers from now on

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love

We meet again

This time by chance

Still our lives won't allow for romance

I feel the storm

About to break

I want to pull you the rain

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love

But we're only lovers

We're not falling in love
