Old Lovers

Lyrics by：Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell

Composed by：Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell

Here we are

Two strangers standing in the doorway of a bar

Nervously talking about the past

Easy to laugh about it now

Wasn't so long ago

It hurt just to hear your name

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink it all comes flooding back again

You look at me and you smile

I think I haven't felt like this in a while

And we look out at the rain

And we see how much our lives have changed

Our future's rearranged

But somehow just the same

And here we are

Two strangers standing on the pavement by a car

You rest your head upon my arm

Easy to laugh about it now

I watch your cigarette burn out

On the pavement

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink and go their separate ways again?

You look like you wanna fight

I think maybe it's time I said goodnight

But I'm happy that I came

Just to see your eyes still have their flame

Their beauty and their pain

It feels like yesterday

That I was yours and you were mine

We were living in parallel lines

And you button up your coat

And the bill gets paid

When we leave behind this life

We almost made

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink and go their separate ways again?

You look at me and you smile

I think I haven't felt like this in a while

And we look out at the rain

Then we see how much our lives have changed

Can we ever make amends?

Can old lovers still be friends?
