Just Another Lover
The Common Kings Lyrics

I can say I love you about a thousand times
I may use the words 'I love you' frequently, but do they truly hold meaning?

Tell me, what does that mean
Is there substance behind those words or are they empty?

If I'm not here when you need me, yeah
If I am not there for you in times of need, can my love truly be relied upon?

I can say I miss you about a thousand times
I might express the feeling of missing you often, but does it have any depth behind it?

Tell me, what does that mean
Is there a genuine longing for you in those words, or are they just empty phrases?

If I don't answer your calls at night, yeah
If I fail to acknowledge your calls and disregard your needs, does my claim of missing you hold any weight?

And I could be with anybody else, babe
I have the freedom to be with anyone, but I choose to invest my time and emotion in you

But I wanna make this moment last with you
I want to savor and cherish every second spent with you

And I don't wanna be just
I do not want to be merely

Another lover in your life
Someone who holds no special significance and can easily be replaced

No significance and you could have been
Without any unique value, you could have chosen anyone else

With anybody else right now
You have the option to be with someone different at this very moment

Am I just another lover in your life
Am I simply another person to fill the role of a lover in your life

Cause I don't wanna be, baby I just wanna
Because I do not desire that position, I simply want to

Be here at the end of the ride, alright
Be present and devoted until the journey comes to an end

I could lay and kiss you
I could spend endless hours kissing you

Until the end of time
For an eternity

Baby, what does that mean if
But what does it truly signify if

I'm kissin' somebody else
I am engaging in intimate acts with someone other than you

I could stay right her and
I could choose to remain here and

Talk to you all night
Engage in conversations with you throughout the entire night

Baby, what does that mean
But what does it signify

If I'm not listening, yeah
If I am not actively paying attention to you

And I could be with anybody else babe
I have the option to share my time and affection with anyone else, my dear

But I wanna make this moment last with you
Yet, I desire to extend the longevity of this special time with you

You act like you don't need nobody else
You seem to display self-sufficiency and independence

But baby, can't fall in love by yourself
However, my dear, it is impossible to experience true love on your own

I promise you that I will be right here
I assure you, without a doubt, that I will remain by your side

Right here, I'ma be right, yeah
Precisely here, steadfast and unwavering

And I could be with anybody else
I have the freedom to choose anyone else

Wanna make this moment last with you
But I am committed to elongating this particular moment shared with you

You know I do
You can be sure that I do

Just another lover in your life
Simply someone who fills the role of a lover without special significance

No significance and you could have been
Lacking any significant importance, you had the option to choose anyone else

With anybody else right now
You could currently be with someone different

Just another lover in your life
Merely another person fulfilling the role of a lover

Cause I don't wanna be, baby I just wanna
Because I do not wish to hold that position, my love, I simply aspire to

Be here at the end of the ride, alright
Remain present until the journey comes to an end, all is well
