Reluctant Readers Make Reluctant Lovers

I’ve read Yates and Hemingway
Maybe in our time it’s liars in love
Then you call out my name like lines from a page
Feel my sins washed away, feels like I’ve been saved
I don’t wanna die heartless in the heartland
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
So baby I’m yours
I’ve read Joyce, I played Heller’s games
No matter your age the portrait’s the same
Yeah, no matter the place the plots never change
Grow old in a flash of face, lust is a young man’s game
I don’t wanna die heartless in the heartland
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
So baby I’m yours, baby I’m yours
I’ve read Yates and Hemingway
Maybe in our time it’s liars in love
Then you call out my name like lines from a page
Feel my sins washed away, feels like I’ve been saved
I don’t wanna die heartless in the heartland
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
Reluctant readers make reluctant lovers
So baby I’m yours, baby I’m yours, baby I’m yours
