Desperately Wanting - Lyrics by Better Than Ezra


Lyrics
Past the road to your house

That you never called home

Where they turned out your lights

Though they say you'll never know

I remember running through the wet grass

And failing a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

When they pumped out your guts

And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over

Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again

They turn you on again.

[
Chorus:]

Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.

Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right

Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.

I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting.
