Field Guide - All The Other Lovers lyrics

Is it the right thing, at the wrong time?
High end whiskey, when you want wine
You can waste a lot of time like that
And you can never get it back
And it's a hard thing, at a hard time
You're in your twenties and you change your mind
About what matters most
It's hard to lose someone when you've grown close

But I just want to be in a place where I can confidently say
All the other lovers were just paving the way
All the other lovers were just paving the way

It's a complicated lifestyle
Loving someone for a little while
Then asking to fade to friends
What an unreasonable request
And baring my soul to you
Then just walking away from you
Like I wouldn't be permanently changed by you

But I just want to be in a place where I can confidently say
All the other lovers were just paving the way
All the other lovers were just paving the way
All the other lovers were just paving the way
All the other lovers were just paving the way
