If I Was Your Lover

If I was your lover, you could rest assured,
That I would never leave you, on that you have my word,
If you gave your heart to me, I’d never let it go,
Ah, but that’s just wishful thinking,
When all the time, we’re not even close…
If I was your lover, I would call you every day,
And we could sit in silence, you would only have to say,
Through the crackle of the static, as the echo comes and goes,
Ah, but what’s the use of dreaming,
After all, we’re not even close…
No, I’m not your lover. we’re not even friends,
But like the first leaf ot autumn that goes drifting on the wind,
You pass by my window,
On your way to somewhere I can never go…
If I was your lover, I would want for nothing more,
Than to know that you would answer
when I knock upon your door,
And in the shelter of your shadow,
I’d say what you already know,
Ah, but now I sound pathetic, cos after all, we’re not even close,
We’re not even close, We’re net even close…
