Desire Lyrics by José James

The Dreamer

2008

She appeared in the distance
Like a prayer I had uttered once
She appeared in my life
Like a dream, only half remembered

She entered my heart
Stayed a while
She entered my heart
Stayed a while, made me the smile

Then gone
Gone from my life, yeah
Her love was like a burning flame of desire, desire
Baby, just set my body free
Make me free to love
Make me free to know how it feels to be loved, hmm
How it feels to be loved in return

There's some things that you just gotta learn on your own, yes

Yeah, you gotta feel love's burn

I awoke from a nightmare
The only survivor left to feel love
Planets spinning madly and I'm the only one to see it
Fall through time
Time do heal all wounds but mine
No one but myself to love
No one but myself to love

But then, I awoke to your touch
You said
Baby, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
