Josephine Vander Gucht - Literature lovers lyrics

All of the books on my shelf are unread
I keep them there so that they will impress
When you come to stay you'll be swept away

As you thumb through the spines
I'm sure that you'll be mine
When your eyes rest upon miranda DuLisle
She's a fiery way with words
Or so you have heard from your friends
And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead

La da da la da da
La da da da da da da la da da
La da da la da da da

They can print a thousand pages
All the paper filled with words
And a multitude of metaphors
That I have never heard
Makes no difference to me
In the end, well, I'll say "I've read it all"

But as the weight of these words
Start to settle in my mind
I'll never wait for a person
To genuinely find
Something deep inside myself
Something more than just the
Books on my shelf

And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead all of the books
On my shelf are unread i keep them there
So that they will impress
When you come to stay you'll be swept away

And me, I am just like the books on my shelf
You have never read my cover
I have never read myself
There are words to be saved, and
Words to be erased

And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead all of the books
On my shelf are unread i keep them there
So that they will impress
When you come to stay you'll be swept away

As you thumb through the spines
I'm sure that you'll be mine
When your eyes rest upon miranda DuLisle
She's a fiery way with words
Or so you have heard from your friends
And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead

La da da la da da
La da da da da da da la da da
La da da la da da da

They can print a thousand pages
All the paper filled with words
And a multitude of metaphors
That I have never heard
Makes no difference to me
In the end, well, I'll say "I've read it all"

But as the weight of these words
Start to settle in my mind
I'll never wait for a person
To genuinely find
Something deep inside myself
Something more than just the
Books on my shelf

And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead

All of the books on my shelf are unread
I keep them there so that they will impress
When you come to stay you'll be swept away

And me, I am just like the books on my shelf
You have never read my cover
I have never read myself
There are words to be saved, and
Words to be erased

And, what will you do
With those hopeless two
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead
Both pretending to be
Literature lovers instead
