Russell Dickerson Better Off Lovers Lyrics

Baby we go round and round on this carousel ride
Seeing what we could be then let it pass us by
If we both just let go and stop believing all these lies
I know it won't take long, no it won't take long to realize

That we tried just friends, and every now and then
I call you on the phone just to see how you've been
Try distance but you were just too far away
But when the sun goes down on the other side of town
And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie
We're better off lovers

When you hold his hand does it feel like mine
Cuz when I kiss her lips you know it don't feel right
So many places filled with faces
But they all lead me back to you
I've been trying to catch my breath
Cuz I've been running from the truth

That we tried just friends, and every now and then I call you on the phone just to see how you've been
Try distance but you were just too far away
But when the sun goes down on the other side of town
And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie
We're better off lovers

In the end, we're better off now than we were when
We tried just friends, hanging out now and then
I call you on the phone just to see how you've been
Tried distance but you were just too far away

And we tried just friends, hanging out now and then
I call you on the phone just to see how you've been
Tried distance but you were just too far away
But when the sun goes down on the other side of town
And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie
We're better off lovers
Yeah we're better off lovers

We go round and round on the carousel ride
