Josh Pyke - No One Wants A Lover lyrics

rate me

Sunday’s always holding a promise

Monday's always letting it go

If I could write a sad song every day of the week

I'd be the happiest fucker I know

So I held my hands out to city

turns out the city she was holding me back

And no one wants a lover

No one wants a lover like that.

I think I needed to feel a distraction

And I’d never seen the January snow

Sometimes it's good to feel lost and it’s good to feel alone

To be half drunk swaying to a band you don't know

When you know all the streets like the lines on your face

you may discover you feel you have nothing to say

And no one wants a lover

No one wants a lover like that.

Chorus:

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover like that.

So *now* I’m leaving just to keep the connection

The st-st-static down a digital line

And if it’s raining in the gully we'll be rushing by now

Won't sully this rush with a privileged whine

Cause when it gets to the point where it's never enough

And every standard you drop, you pick another one up

And no one wants a lover

No one wants a lover like that.

Chorus:

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover who’s holding you back

No one wants a lover like that.

So I held my hands up to the city

And I turned my face up to the sky (up to the sky)

And I've been wishing the same wish on the first star

But no stars are coming out tonight

And it’s hard to see stars in the city

Wishing is never a waste of your time.

[ 2 x Chorus:]
