Desperate Lyrics by David Archuleta

David Archuleta (Deluxe)

2008

[Intro]
Desperate, desperate...

[Verse 1]
You're reaching out, and no one hears you cry
You're freaking out again, cause all your fears remind you
And all the dream has come undone
You feel so small, then lost that you're the only one
You wanna scream, cause you're desperate

[Chorus]
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

[Verse 2]
You're in the dark, there's no one left to call
Your sleep's your only friend
But even sleep can't hide you
From all those tears and all the pain
And all the days you wasted pushing them away
It's your life, it's time you face it

[Chorus]
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light
'Cause you're desperate, desperate
Desperate, desperate
'Cause you're desperate, desperate
Now

[Bridge]
You know that things have gotta change
You can't go back, you'll find your way
And day by day, you start to come alive

[Chorus]
You want somebody, just anybody
To bring some peace to your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

[Outro]
'Cause you're desperate, desperate
Desperate
'Cause you're desperate
Tonight
Oh, desperate
So desperate...tonight
Tonight
Desperate
Desperate
