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 person 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

It's stiff and static down a digital line

And if it's raining in the gully we'd 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 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 out tonight

And it's hard to see stars in the city

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
