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 person 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 I've 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 no 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'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 [ 2 x Chorus:]
