Temporary Lovers

Met a dancer
From Brooklyn
Tied up in her sheets

She's got a temper
For reasons hard to believe

We'll leave out all the sinners
All the losers and the winners
The scars that have torn us apart

Met down by the drugstore
Empty warehouse by the corner
Here's where you let go of my heart

Cause I know that you're being polite
When you call me up and you say that “it's over”
Then you'll probably crave through the night
Temporary lovers
Temporary lovers

An eviction notice
With no one a part of the scene
Cut the phone line
Packed up bags
Now we're hitting the streets

We'll shut up all the haters
All the beggars and the strangers
The wounds that set us apart
Neon shines down by the diner
Cold reflections from our neighbors
Signs that ignite the spark

Cause I know that you're being polite
When you call me up and you say that “it's over”
Then you'll probably crave through the night
Temporary lovers
Temporary lovers

We'll dance to the beat of a drum
For all missing time
Until you're gone

You're just synthetic
It's all in my head
Till someday
You're back again

Cause I know that you're being polite
When you call me up and you say that “it's over”
Then you'll probably crave through the night
Temporary lovers
Temporary lovers

And the silence it drains like the sun
I know I'm not the only
No I'm not the only one
You then apologize
Temporary lovers

Lovers
Temporary lovers
Temporary lovers
