Desperate

Desperate

There was a time I couldn't stand to be alone

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

I was so sure I could make it on my own

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

I could feel it just beyond my outstretched hands

Against my fingers like the finest grains of sand

I could see it in a distant flash of light

Then it's gone, I’m alone, in the night

And I never lacked for love as a little child

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

And I turned my back and I started running wild

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

I could feel it just beyond my outstretched hands

Against my fingers like the finest grains of sand

I could see it in a distant flash of light

Then it's gone, I’m alone, in the night

And if I never treated love the way I should

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

And there’s things I did, well I did them just because I could

I was desperate for something, desperate for something

There’s a diamond trapped inside a grain of sand

I can feel it just beyond my outstretched hands

I can see it in a distant flash of light

Now the only thing before me is the night

And the only thing before me is the night

I wake up, I’m alone, in the night
