Desire - 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?

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

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

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
