Desire Songtext
von The Gaslight Anthem

What makes a man do the things
That a man does to be
The very thing he perceives
Would capture your heart?
Capture your heart

What does it feel like inside?
Does it hurt you at night?
Or does it keep you alive
And set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything
For the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years
Up in desire, desire

What makes a woman believe
In a man such as me?
Unworthy to sit at your foot or your crown
I can only let you down
I can only let you down


What does it feel like inside?
Does it hurt you at night?
Or does it keep you alive
And set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything
For the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years
Up in desire, desire

And some men spend their lives
Chasing the accolades of pride
But that just never crossed my mind
You were always on my mind, oh

What does it feel like inside?
Does it hurt you at night?
Or does it keep you alive
And set you on fire, on fire?
I would give anything
For the touch of your skin
Yes, I would burn here for years
Up in desire, desire
(Desire, desire)
