Desire by memphis

released October 30, 2020

you press play and a week goes by
and all that changes is the sky
and the light that moves through the living room
and the things you thought would be
all the days are the same
dawn in sunshine dusk in rain
knock three times on the kitchen door
then dont come round here no more
i told you before

what will happen when we touch again?
will it ever be the same?
our faces covered and our hearts on fire
that's no way to read desire

desire will win the day
desire will end this fray
desire in every way
desire is what makes me stay

press rewind and go back again
better to remember than to reach the end
winter wind in the month of may
a bird flew into the house today
i find you upstairs at half past three
all alone in the nursery
throwing books on the open fire
and every title reads "desire"

desire will win the day
desire will end this fray
desire in every single way
desire
is what makes me stay
