Desire

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
