I shut down when I think of you
Dreamscaping,
Hiding at the slightest little hint of you
I'm running from you in denial
Can't picture our sunny
Peculiar view
I tap out when you're into it
Keeping us off kilter
In the thick of it
Amazing how procrastination
Helps numb the sensation of falling for you
We're only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Spectrum, spectrum, spectrum, spectrum
Only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Oh, oh, oh but when the world ends
A step back
Can I think it over now?
Direction headed for a cliff I can't fall over
I'm making mistakes in the
Actions I take, and I'm
Waking myself from your life
My head is clouded by my stupid thoughts
A dumb reaction to the way you talk
Your verbiage lacks in a
Certain vernacular
Use the magic word that's not 'like'
Only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Oh, oh, oh but when the world ends
Only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Oh, oh, but when the world ends
We're only lovers when the world ends
As if we have a say in who we fall for
Oh, oh, oh but when the world ends
We're always sitting on the defense
As if we can control who we were made for
Oh, oh, oh but when the world ends
(Love don't come so easily,
Honestly please don't stand so close to me)
When the world ends
(Love don't come so easily,
Honestly please don't stand so close to me)
We're only lovers when the world ends!
Only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Oh, oh, oh but when the world ends
Only lovers when the world ends
Holding you at arms length
Widening my spectrum
Oh, oh, but when the world ends
(Only lovers when the world ends,
Holding you at arms length)
