Name: Lover
Duration: P00H03M24S
Description: This is about leaving a loved one behind when you just have to do, what you got to do, even though it hurts like hell. I tell you…, it wasn’t easy. Someone must have really spun that merry-go-round pretty fast. It took ages to get off.

This is about leaving a loved one behind when you just have to do, what you got to do, even though it hurts like hell. I tell you…, it wasn’t easy. Someone must have really spun that merry-go-round pretty fast. It took ages to get off.

lyrics

Words and music by Richard Aljinovic

Chorus:
Lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
should I come home, or should I finish my ride.

Verse 1:
I think about you all the time, it feels like a curse.
I cannot get you out of my mind, it’s just getting worse.
Who’d of thought that we would get so close, with limited time.
We knew that I was going away, we thought we’d be fine.
Now we’re apart and I have had some time, to clear my mind.
I’m still confused but something is keeping me here, some invisible line.

Chorus:
Lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
should I come home, or should I finish my ride.

Verse 2:
If I come home it wouldn’t be just like it was, after a time.
My head be off and I would break and run away, to finish my part in life.
And if I stayed and it all seemed ok, would I be living a lie.
Always thinking bout what could have been if I had stayed, and forgotten my ride.
Yes I’m sorry that I haven’t plans to fill you in, I’m going it blind.
I don’t know how it’s going to end, but it’s going to take some time.

Chorus:
Lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
lover, lover on my mind,
should I come home, or should I finish my ride.

Outro:
If it’s not too late, when I get home,
Would you take me back, or will you be gone.
