Desperately

**********************************************

Well now I don’t know what the future holds

I don’t know if the cold air blows

How will we shelter

When you turn on me

How can I hold on

The things I need are never given

The things I hear

Come from heaven

Mismatched

And sinking fast

I never saw that outcome

And that’s a fact

But I know the truth

It’s me that is changing

Cool and removed is not my style

And I keep trying

To be more like you

Because I love you

So desperately

That is the reason

I am learning to let go

Love shouldn’t feel

So desperate

So desperate to hold on

So desperate to let go

Up and down

Again we go

Yeah desperate

Is not my desire

It’s too cold

In the distance we share

Hard weather hearts

And strong deliberate minds

Following each other

Our love always finds

The quickest way to implode

Take cover as the constant breaks

I can’t breathe

whenever I let go

I keep my hands off

Whenever you’re near

you know

Its conundrum

This wishy washy love

Well I don’t know

no I don’t know what the future holds

I don’t know if the cold air blows

How will we shelter

When you turn on me

How can we hold on

So desperately
