Lover of Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You hear my cry, lover of mine
No tear in the eye or fear in my mind
The forest is thick and we don't recognize
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
[Chorus]
In a wide open field, we know we can feel
Awake and unreal
Off to nowhere, off to nowhere
Off to nowhere
[Verse 2]
Need more people to be satisfied
With no fear of a god and a prayer for the night
You come into our minds and you rush through our lives
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
[Chorus]
In a wide open field, we know we can feel
Awake and unreal
Off to nowhere, oh
Off to nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
You hear my cry, lover of mine
No tear in the eye or fear in my mind
The forest is thick and we don't recognize
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
[Chorus]
In a wide open field, we know we can feel
Awake and unreal
Off to nowhere, off to nowhere
Off to nowhere
[Verse 2]
Need more people to be satisfied
With no fear of a god and a prayer for the night
You come into our minds and you rush through our lives
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
[Chorus]
In a wide open field, we know we can feel
Awake and unreal
Off to nowhere, oh
Off to nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
The only thing you've got (Off to nowhere)
You know you're better off without it
[Bridge]
Youngest fire, you decide
You decide what is right
Youngest fire, who decides?
We decide what is right
[Outro]
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Youngest fire, you decide
You decide what is right
Youngest fire, who decides?
We decide what is right
[Outro]
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
Near yet so far, isn't it?
The only thing you've got
You know you're better off without it
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The song speaks to a journey of self-discovery and a rejection of traditional beliefs (“With no fear of a god and a prayer for the night”) or attachments, while wrestling with the challenge of finding meaning in a world that feels both real and unreal. The repetition of being “off to nowhere” suggests a wandering state, where direction and purpose remain uncertain.
