Lyrics Nothing But Thieves – Lover, You Should Have Come Over
Text:
Looking out the door, I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you’re on my mind so you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away when he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he’s done
No, sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has no one
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won’t ever come
It’s never over
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It’s never over
All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
No, it’s never over
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
No, it’s never over
She’s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever, yeah
Ooh, but maybe I’m just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
And I feel too young to hold on
Ooh, and much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I’ve done
Sweet lover, you should’ve come over
I’m waiting for you
Lover, you should’ve come over
‘Cause it’s not too late
