The Lovers Are Losing - Keane

I dreamed I was drowning

In the river Thames

I dreamed I had nothing at all

Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hand

Into the river

Saw your face looking back at me

I saw my past

And I saw my future

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 anyway you look at things and try

The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching

A young lover’s dance

I reached out to touch your hand

But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car

Clinched to the corner

I try to hold on to what we are

The more I squeeze the quicker we all are

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 anyway you look at things and try

The lovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing at all)

I dreamed I had nothing at all

You take the pieces of the dreams that you had

'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

We’re trying

The lovers are losing
