Past the road to your house

That you never call home

Where they turned out your lights

Though they say you'll never know

I remember running through the wet grass

And falling a step behind

Both of us never tiring

Desperately Wanting

When they pumped out your guts

Filled you full of those pills

You were never quite right

Deserving all the chills

They say the worst is over

Kicked it over again

Then they ask what went wrong

When they turn you on again

When they turn you on again

I remember running through the wet grass

And falling a step behind

Both of us never tiring

Desperately Wanting

Kick them right in the face

Make them wish they weren't born

And if they bring up your name

Will they 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

No you never had it right

I remember running through the wet grass

And falling a step behind

Both of us never tiring

Desperately Wanting

I remember running through the wet grass

And falling a step behind

Both of us never tiring

Desperately Wanting

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

I remember running through the wet grass

And falling a step behind

Both of us never tiring

Desperately Wanting
