"what lovers do" lyrics

"what lovers do"

Packing up the pedals, throw the petals on the floor
Now I know what love is for
Now I know what love is for
See it from a distance but the distance seems too far
You don't want to leave the garden, devil caught you way off guard

With your hands
Halfway with your hands into the fire
Halfway with your hands into the fire of my desire

Asking you a question, now the question seems so dumb
You thought I would not remember how I was so overcome
And cards are on the table but I can see right through
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do

With your hands
Halfway with your hands into the fire
Halfway with your hands into the fire of my desire

But don't you want to be allowed?
Don't you want to be allowed?
But don't you want to be allowed?
Don't you want to be allowed?

Suddenly illuminated, truth is what was told
I am speechless in a driveway as the oil stains the road
Then I was told a secret but the secret was a lie
You said I don't understand you, I said you don't even try

With your hands
Halfway with your hands into the fire
Halfway with your hands into the fire of my desire

Into the fire of my desire
Into the fire of my desire

Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
Now I know what lovers do
