Lyrics

Desperation
by James Webb. © 2007. Amadeus WAM

One more lost opportunity,
In the expeditions of this heart.
Sudden flutter, then a flat line.
It’s the desperation keeps it apart

Rush hour drivers, hearts ever lonely.
Fuelled by desire, held in their place.
Furtive glances between fellow travellers.
Risking it all to get out of the race.

Chorus
It’s insane, this idea I’m letting you go.
Almost don’t know you,
Like a picture left behind.
Someone I was hoping you might be,
And shine a light on me.
I’ve lost track of all these dreams that had their time,
In my mind.

Impossible needs, sheer desperation.
Living in hope, the more you’ve got to lose.
Black as the night, deep as eternity.
To live or to die, not much to choose.

(Chorus)

It’s insane,
This idea I’m letting you go.
Almost don’t know you,
Just a picture left behind.
Someone I was hoping you might be,
And shine your pretty little light on me.
I’ve lost track of all these dreams that took their time,
In my mind.
