Desire Songtext
von Freshlyground

I′m treading water. Going under. What did you say?

My friends implore me
"Don't do it,
You′ll get your heart smashed to the ground, no way around it"
My friends assure me
"You're too good for this,
Something better waits for you beyond the corner"
Though my friends adore me
They pick me up around town
Take me out any time I'm feeling sentimental
My friends won′t hold me
When I can′t sleep late at night
When I can't put out the light

Oh, this desire
Oh, this desire


I kiss your shoulder
You look me in the eye
Without panic or surprise I know I′m falling
Into your rivers
I'm moving faster now
I′m flowing further into secret harbours
Your arms are open
You're too good to miss.
Without panic or surprise I know I′m falling

Oh, this desire
But what about this loneliness?
Maybe I should question this
What about this loneliness?
Maybe I should question this

My head is under the bed
You're not ready for all this
All you wanted was a moment's celebration
I′m treading water. Going under. Did you say?

My friends console me
They pick me up around town;
Take me out anytime I′m feeling temperamental.
My friends will hold me when I can't sleep late at night
When I can′t put out the light.


Oh, this desire
Oh, this desire
But what about this loneliness?
Maybe I should question this
What about this loneliness?
Maybe I should question this

What about this loneliness?
