When We Were Lovers

When we were lovers
Feelings

Remembering the accident
The puppy love slipped from your heart
Along with the nonsense
Suddenly you burned our flag
Declared independence
Eternity was cut too short
Though 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 slide show
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, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My lover was already gone
I just warmed up the seat
For somebody new...
