Lyrics
[verse]
Two rings on the phone at midnight, that's our sign
Means the coast is clear and you can cross the line
We got a secret language, we got a private code
Living two lives on the same old road
[chorus]
Part-time lover, hiding in the shadows of the night
Part-time lover, keeping secrets out of sight
We both know it's wrong but we can't let it go
Part-time lover, that's the only way we know
[verse]
Porch light flickers twice, that means don't come around
Someone's home tonight, better lay low, keep it down
We got our story straight in case somebody asks
Living behind a closet full of masks
[chorus]
Part-time lover, hiding in the shadows of the night
Part-time lover, keeping secrets out of sight
We both know it's wrong but we can't let it go
Part-time lover, that's the only way we know
[bridge]
Someday the truth is gonna find the light
Someday we can't keep living double lives at night
But for now we play the game we know
Hearts caught in the undertow
[chorus]
Part-time lover, hiding in the shadows of the night
Part-time lover, keeping secrets out of sight
We both know it's wrong but we can't let it go
Part-time lover, that's the only way we know
