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
