The Gaslight Anthem - Desire lyrics

rate me

Oh, oh, oh

What makes a man do the things that a man does

To be the very thing he perceives would capture your heart?

Oh, oh, oh capture your heart

Chorus:

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

Aha, aha, aha

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

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I can only let you down

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Chorus:

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

Aha, aha, aha

And some men spend their lives

Chasing the accolades of pride

But that just never crossed my mind,

You were always on my mind

Chorus:

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

Aha, aha, aha
