We're Not Supposed to Be Lovers Lyrics
picture a place that's far from danger.
a nicer place to cash your chips.
i'm not the one holding you hostage.
squeezed inbetween my lips.
we're not supposed to be lovers.
or friends, like they'd have us believe.
we're not supposed to know eachother.
accept my apology.
i was a babe stuck in a tree branch.
banging on my rusty cradle bars.
until i stole your middle finger.
now who's the one in charge?
we're not supposed to be lovers.
or friends, like they'd have us believe.
we're not supposed to know eachother.
accept my apology.
vain, underground, fist, face down.
bruise as they heal my pain.
food on the flight.
bread, fist, bite.
draw from the orange juice crane.
picture a person you've forgotten.
kissing your brother or your friend.
picture a wounded entertainer.
cutting his hair again.
a nicer place to cash your chips.
i'm not the one holding you hostage.
squeezed inbetween my lips.
or friends, like they'd have us believe.
we're not supposed to know eachother.
accept my apology.
banging on my rusty cradle bars.
until i stole your middle finger.
now who's the one in charge?
or friends, like they'd have us believe.
we're not supposed to know eachother.
accept my apology.
bruise as they heal my pain.
food on the flight.
bread, fist, bite.
draw from the orange juice crane.
kissing your brother or your friend.
picture a wounded entertainer.
cutting his hair again.

i think that last stanza is one of his best lyrics. it's the perfect end to that song.
This is a beautiful song.. If you've been in and out of love a few times I'm sure you will be able to relate to this song! :)
It's just one of those very true songs with a simple melody..
