Young Desire Lyrics by Hillsburn

The Wilder Beyond

2018

Smell of high-school hallways
Lake on flush young skin
Stumbled words and hands at night
Soft, steady chagrin
This is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
She left with Halley’s Comet
Was nineteen eighty-six
And people said, “Now buck up, kid
You’re too young, you love too quick.”
So I burned Carl Sagan’s Cosmos
And the lake kind of lost its feel
Now the day she left doesn’t stand out much
But is that true?
Am I losing touch?
Oh this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
Oh this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
Walking lone home today
On a corner swear she’s there
And stars don’t fall anymore for me
Or not in a way that compares
So I step out into traffic
The doctor’ll ask me why
And bandaged up, with a blush, I’ll sigh:
“Cause I can’t get out of bed sometimes.”
Oh, this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
Oh, this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
Oh, this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
Oh, this is, this is your young desire
Oh, it’s wild and it’s sweet and pathetic
And somehow you never forget it
