The Longing Songtext
von EELS

The longing is a pain
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
And my day becomes a quest

To try not to think about her
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things

Surely there are other things to life
But I can′t think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Just to see her

Her smile, her touch
Her smell
Her laugh


The longing is a friend
A way to stay close
And feel like she's here
And feel like she knows

That when I would say, I would die for her
It′s not just words, I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could

Surely there are other things to life
But I can't think of one single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her

Her tears, her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts
I love them all
