No One Wants a Lover

Sunday's always holding a promise
Monday's always letting it go
If I could write a sad song every day of the week
I'd be the happiest fucker I know
So I held my hands up to the city
Turns out the city, she was holding me back
And no-one wants a lover, no-one wants a lover like that
I think I needed to feel a distraction
I'd never seen the January snow
Sometimes it's good to be lost, and it's good to feel alone
Being half-drunk swaying to a band you don't know
When you know all the streets like the lines on your face
You may discover you feel you have nothing to say
And no-one wants a lover, no-one wants a lover like that
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover like that
So now I'm leaving just to keep the connection
There's different static down a digital line
And if it's raining then the gully will be rushing by now
Won't sully this rush with a privileged whine
Cause when it gets to the point where it's never enough
And every standard that you drop, you pick another one up
And no-one wants a lover, no-one wants a lover like that
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover like that
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover like that
So I held my hands up to the city
And I turned my face up to the sky
And I've been wishing the same wish, on the first star
No stars are coming now tonight
And it's hard to see stars in the city
But wishing is never a waste of your time
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover like that
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover who's holding them back
No-one wants a lover like that
