Tim Rice-Oxley - The Lovers Are Losing lyrics

[Verse 1] (Watch out) I dreamed I was drowning In the river Thames I dreamed I had nothing at all Nothing but my own skin I dreamed I was drifting On the howling wind I dreamed I had nothing at all Nothing but my own skin [Pre-Chorus 1] Slipped away from your open hands Into the river Saw your face looking back at me I saw my past, and I saw my future [Chorus 1] You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at things Looks like the lovers are losing [Verse 2] I dreamed I was watching The young lovers dance I reached out to touch your hair But I was watching from a distance [Pre-Chorus 2] We cling to love like a skidding car Clings to a corner I tried to hold onto what we are The more I squeeze, the quicker we alter [Chorus 1] You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at things Looks like the lovers are losing [Bridge] I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin) I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin) I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin) I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing at all) [Chorus 1] You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But any way you look at things Looks like the lovers are losing [Chorus 2] You take the pieces of the dreams that you have Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going You cut them up and spread them out on the floor You're full of hope as you begin rearranging Put it all back together But in the final reckoning Looks like the lovers are losing [Outro] Get some Under Pressure style
