this desire

he's a long locked room with the curtains closed
he's an unlit candle on these nights spent alone
he's the winter air reaching the marrow of my bones

but through it all
i know i know i know
there's a reason for this
this desire

he's sinking in a fear with the shore so close
he's the reason i can't stay here and why i won't go
he's the wilderness i saw and wanted from the safety of the road

and through it all
i know i know i know
there's a reason for this
this desire
