I want every song to sound like this one
One that fits in to your rhythm
I want every day to end like this
With breath inside these lungs and fists
Escaping through the cracks of joy
That you built in this little boy
Long ago, from time to time
Every day he's ever been alive
There's a soul inside this jar of mud
Sometimes it feels you've given up
But even with my faulty sight
Fire still burns in the dead of night
The brightest of all hope shines out
Even in the midst of my darkest doubts
And I can't change a single line
That's been drawn in all of space and time
[chorus]
You give me just a taste of hope
Enough to make me want the rest
I can't hold all you can give
But I can do my best
You leave me with a hunger still
One that never disappears
I can try to ignore the hunger pains
But they always find me here
Keep erasing all I know
Fill the gaps within my soul
Reinvent the things I feel
Until your heartbeat's true and real
Pulsing over sounds and waves
And all the things this body craves
It's only when my heart's a mess
That I feel I truly know what love is
And I can hear you
[chorus]
You give me just a taste of hope
Enough to make me want the rest
I can't hold all you can give
But I can do my best
You leave me with a hunger still
One that never disappears
I can try to ignore the hunger pains
But they always find me here
On the brink of all I am
It's when I find that maybe I'm just a simple man
With one essential need
To be loved and to love somebody
Yeah, to love somebody
