If We Became Lovers

from Life Our Own Way by David Heatley

/

lyrics

If we became lovers
The tension we’re building would all just collapse
The coy little smiles and laughing love taps
I’d have you and you’d have me
How disappointed we would be in each other
If we became lovers

The light in our eyes would quickly go out
We’d know all along what those looks were about
Explore each other to the depths
Til there was nothing left for us to discover
If we became lovers

There’s no such thing as the one
You can just pivot from one stranger to another
Til you became lovers

If we became lovers
That first time would be explosive all night
Within a few hours we’d have our first fight
We’d say things so cruel I don’t think you or I would ever recover
If we became lovers

There’s no such thing as the one
Love is specific to where you find yourself
You can just pivot from one stranger to another
Til you became lovers
