Sunday's always holding a promise
Monday's always letting it go
If I can write a sad song every day of the week

I'd be the happiest $#&@er I know
So I held my hands out to the 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 in 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


No one wants a lover who's holding you back (X3)
No one wants a lover like that


So now I'm leaving to keep the connection
The 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 a point where it's never enough
Then every standard you drop you pick another one up

And no one wants a lover
No one wants a lover like that


And no one wants a lover (X3)
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
And I'm wishing the same wish on the first star

No stars are coming out tonight
And it's hard to see stars in the city
Wishing is never a waste of your time
