The Longing - Eels

The longing is a pain

A heavy pressure on my chest

It rarely leaves

My day becomes a quest

To try not to think about her

And all that she brings

Forget about her magic

All the beautiful things

Surely there are other things to life

But I can’t think of one single thing

That matters more than just to see her

Just to see her

Her smile

Her touch

Her smell

Her laugh

The longing is a friend

A way to stay close

And feel like she’s here

And feel like she knows

That when I say I would die for her

It’s not just words, I really would

And to make the world a safer place for her

Well, I believe I really could

Surely there are other things to life

But I can’t think of one single thing

That matters more than just to see her

To see her

Her tears

Her sorrow

Her faults

Her doubts

I love them all
