When We Were Lovers

When we were lovers

Our feelings



Remembering the accident

The puppy love slipped from your heart

Along with the nonsense

And suddenly you burned our flag

Declared independence

Eternity was cut too short

But I admit



My lover was already gone

I just warmed up the seat

For somebody new

That you were bound to meet

That somebody who

Would take the place of me

In your feelings



Gradually you overstayed

Our memories would not be played

to friends in a slideshow

There had never been that much to see

At the end of our rainbow

Humidity, and last sunbeams

In a vacant lot



My lover was already gone

I just warmed up the seat

For somebody new

That you were bound to meet

That somebody who

Would take the place of me

In your feelings



Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

My lover was already gone

I just warmed up the seat

For somebody new
