Lyrics

Like Only Lovers Can

Out of nowhere I was there

But you took your time

No one thought that I could get you

Then they changed their minds

You know that I have a perfect plan

Drown in each other like only lovers can

Something is bound to come your way

And I'll watch you run astray

Walk amongst the others

Clearly state your aim

Slide beneath the covers

And I will say your name

In the city, crowds run wild

Like ants on a farm

Villains may commit their crimes

But I won't do you harm

You know that I have a perfect plan

Drown in each other like only lovers can

Something is bound to come your way

And I'll watch you run astray

Like only lovers can

Like only lovers can

Like only lovers can
