Berikut ini lirik lagu “Desperation” dari Paolo Nutini.
[Verse 1]
Desperation has a funny worth
Eyes rolling forward at the mind's rebirth
Desperation is a friend at hand
A reach for touch in this arid land
[Chorus]
Oh, but you, you know what you do
Yeah, you, and your dancing shoes
Oh, you, so good at writing tomorrow
You do anything you want to
[Verse 2]
Desperation is the things we miss
It's the asteroid, it's the final kiss
Desperation is the disconnect
The warring sighs for some self-respect
[Chorus]
Oh, but you, you are so beautifully wired
Oh, yeah you, and your dancing shoes
Oh, you, so good at being desired
You do anything you want to
[Bridge]
Everythin' we miss
Everythin' we miss
[Verse 3]
Desperation was my sanctuary
The Empir? State of my sanity
Desperation is a count? r-strike
Against the Giants and the rats alike
[Chorus]
Oh, but you, you go clear of the shadows
Yeah, you, and your dancing shoes
Oh, you, are so good at writing tomorrow
Would you, take me with you? You
[Outro]
Desperation
Desperation
Desperation
Desperation
Desperation
Desperation
